Toyo Styrene Begins Construction Phase For Japanese Chem Recycling Facility

摘要

Tokyo-Toyo Styrene,an affiliate of Denka,Nippon Steel Chemical Material and Daicel,has entered the construction phase of a new chemical recycling plant in Chiba Prefecture,Japan(PCN,20 Apr 2020,p 2).The 10-t/d plant,based on Agilyx's depolymerization technology,will convert post-use polystyrene(PS)into styrene monomer(SM)that will be purified using Toyo Sty-rene's proprietary purification process.The SM can then be converted back into high value PS products with a lower carbon footprint than similar products made with virgin monomer,Agilyx explained.
