Partnership between Dow and Haldor Topsoe will turn waste plastics into circular plastics

摘要

About 300 million tons of plastic waste is produced every year on a global scale. The partnership between Dow and Topsoe marks a new initiative to efficiently convert waste plastics to circular plastics, keeping them out of the environment and responsibly reclaiming their value. Plans include Dow to proceed with the design and engineering for a 10,000 ton per year market development unit using Haldor Topsoe's PureStep technology to purify pyrolysis oil feedstock derived from waste plastics for use in circular products. Dow's development unit will advance the technology for industrial-scale purification of circular feedstocks, which will be used to meet strong market demand for circular polyethylene.
