Axens licenses ethanol-to-ethylene technology to Sumitomo

摘要

Sumitomo Chemical has agreed to license Axens’ ethanol-to- ethylene technology for a waste-to-polyolefns circular economy project being developed by Sumitomo in Japan. The Atol technology process will be used to convert ethanol produced from waste plastics into polymer-grade ethylene, which will then be polymerized by Sumitomo into polyolefns, Axens says.
