[#PlasticRecycling ♻️] Live from Japan: final stretch! In 2020, Axens joined forces with JEPLAN, INC. and IFP Energies nouvelles to demonstrate and commercialize an innovative process for recycling polyethylene terephthalate (PET) waste. Named the Axens Rewind® PET process, this process can convert all PET waste into virgin, food-grade, #rPET – a major accomplishment for chemical plastic recycling.
🙌 Today, as the last checks are being finalized, the Rewind® PET plastic recycling semi-industrial demonstrator has just one step remaining: start up!
The demonstrator’s journey began with the fabrication and then shipment of the unit’s modules – 370 tons of material – to our partner JEPLAN’s site near Fukuoka, Japan. 📦 Next up was an incredibly quick construction and installation, made possible by the unit’s #modular configuration. 🛠 With the completed unit, our teams are now moving on to pre-commissioning activities before the ultimate step: start up.
