Innovative Technologies to Combat Plastic Pollution at INC-5
The recent fifth session of the INC-5 focused on plastic pollution, held in the vibrant city of Busan, South Korea, represented a significant step toward fostering international cooperation in tackling this pressing environmental challenge. During this pivotal event, the Chinese enterprise Hunan Vary Tech Co., Ltd. took center stage, demonstrating its cutting-edge technologies aimed at plastic waste management and recycling.
Vary Tech's Commitment to Sustainability
With a robust 20-year history in solid waste recycling, Vary Tech has meticulously honed its approach, utilizing advanced pyrolysis technology that transforms plastic waste into valuable resources. These include oil, gas, and carbon, which can be refined into fuels, chemical products, and building materials, or used as renewable energy sources. This process not only mitigates plastic waste but also contributes to energy efficiency and sustainability.
The company has spent over a decade refining its pyrolysis system, now at its sixth generation. Key features include continuous feeding and discharging, flexible combined sealing, thermal vector circulation, cascaded thermal energy utilization, and self-cleaning coking. Remarkably, the system can process up to 150 tons of plastic waste daily, boasting near-zero combustion gas leakage and a pyrolysis gas recovery rate of up to 90%. Furthermore, its energy consumption is 15% less than traditional incineration methods, showcasing its eco-friendly capabilities.
A Practical Application of Technology
Vary Tech’s technology has already seen commercial success, with its pioneering chemical recycling project in China treating an impressive 220,000 tons of plastic waste annually, operating efficiently for five years. This technology has expanded globally, with ongoing projects in various countries including South Korea, Brazil, and Japan, laying a solid foundation for international collaborations in plastic recycling.
During the INC-5 parallel event, Vary Tech signed a significant cooperation agreement with a South Korean recycling firm. This local company, with 15 years of expertise, specializes in recycling synthetic resin waste and producing solid fuels, generating over 10,000 tons annually. Their partnership underscores a shared commitment to enhancing the global recycling industry and addressing the plastic pollution crisis.
A New Era in Environmental Management
The strategic alliance between Chinese and South Korean companies signals a new avenue for tackling worldwide plastic pollution. As international agreements continue to evolve, plastic waste management is rapidly becoming a focal point for growth within the environmental protection industry. Vary Tech eagerly anticipates that the momentum gained from this cooperation will inspire further participation from various sectors aimed at collectively advancing the fight against plastic pollution.
