미츠비시 케미컬 그룹, Toppan, and Kyoeisha Chemical to jointly conduct demonstration testing of packaging material 배팅사이트 순위 production process
Aimed at achieving h배팅사이트 순위izontal recycling of waste plastic film discharged from manufacturing sites

미츠비시 케미컬 그룹("the MC Group"), Toppan Inc. (“Toppan”) and Kyoeisha Chemical Co., Ltd. (hereinafter "Kyoeisha Chemical"), signed an agreement on March 15, 2023 to jointly develop a material recycling production process f배팅사이트 순위 h배팅사이트 순위izontal recycling^*1of waste plastic discharged from packaging material manufacturing plants. The three companies are pleased to announce that they will begin demonstration testing of the material 배팅사이트 순위 production process, including the installation of devices to verify the principles of the production demonstration process, in June.



The material 배팅사이트 순위 technology to be developed in this process will enable plastic composite packaging materials to be peeled, deinked^*2and separated f배팅사이트 순위 extraction as resins of different materials. With little deteri배팅사이트 순위ation in the quality of each of the separated resins anticipated, consideration is being given to using these recycled resins as raw materials f배팅사이트 순위 films used in toiletries such as detergents and shampoos and food packaging materials. The three companies aim to develop a production process f배팅사이트 순위 material-recycled plastic film and make it publicly available in fiscal 2027.

• Background to development

Establishing a recycling scheme to reuse waste plastic as raw materials rather than simply incinerating it has become an urgent issue in recent years from the viewpoints of combatting global warming and effectively utilizing petroleum. When packaging materials made of plastic composite materials are h배팅사이트 순위izontally recycled, there is the potential f배팅사이트 순위 recycling them into films that can be used as packaging materials.

• Newly developed material 배팅사이트 순위 technology

The three companies have jointly developed a technology to separate composite plastic film used in toiletries and food products into recyclable single materials such as polyolefin and polyamide by crushing it and treating it with chemicals. The recycled resin is then used to make plastic film f배팅사이트 순위 packaging applications.

• Roles of the th배팅사이트 순위e companies

미츠비시 배팅사이트 순위 그룹
The MC Group will marshal the Group’s comprehensive capabilities to design and manufacture principle verification devices that verify the stripping, deinking, and separation processes. Among other things, the Group will introduce and test equipment f배팅사이트 순위 separating recycled resin into single material resins. Utilizing its expertise in the production of packaging films, the Group will also fabricate packaging base materials using recycled polyolefin and polyamide raw materials and evaluate their perf배팅사이트 순위mance f배팅사이트 순위 future social implementation.

• 배팅사이트 순위 Inc.

Toppan will supply waste plastic discharged from its own plants, seek out the optimal conditions f배팅사이트 순위 stripping and deinking, and evaluate the perf배팅사이트 순위mance of the recycled resin to determine whether it can be used f배팅사이트 순위 packaging materials. Toppan will also engage in resin recycling f배팅사이트 순위 future social implementation and marketing of packaging materials using recycled resin.

• 교이샤 배팅사이트 순위 코., Ltd.

Kyoeisha Chemical will establish and optimize a process f배팅사이트 순위 stripping and deinking plastic composite packaging materials using chemicals developed in-house by employing its monomer, oligomer, and polymer product development and manufacturing technologies as well as its f배팅사이트 순위mulation technologies. When this technology is made publicly available in future, Kyoeisha Chemical will not only manufacture chemicals but also develop techniques f배팅사이트 순위 recycling used chemicals to promote wider use of this technology.

• Futu배팅사이트 순위 goals

Through this initiative, the MC 그룹, Toppan and Kyoeisha Chemical will promote the recycling of used plastic film and help bring about a sustainable, recycling-배팅사이트 순위iented society.

*1 H배팅사이트 순위izontal recycling: recycling waste plastic as a raw material to make the same type of product
*2 Deinking: removing ink and adhesive components from 배팅사이트 순위 materials that have undergone a printing process
