Vary Tech, Evonik, and SupeZET Unveil Comprehensive Chemical Recycling Initiative at IFAT Munich 2026

In a significant development at IFAT Munich 2026, leading solid waste management company Vary Tech, in collaboration with Evonik and SupeZET, has launched an ambitious package targeting the chemical recycling of plastic waste. This innovative initiative is geared toward producing high-quality pyrolysis oil (PPO) and circular naphtha, aiming to meet the growing demands of sustainable materials in the petrochemical industry.

Strategic Collaboration to Enhance Recycling Processes

During the event, Vary Tech and SupeZET announced the formation of CARBON LOOP SYSTEMS PTE. LTD., a new entity based in Singapore, dedicated to advancing chemical recycling processes. This strategic partnership is expected to deliver various sustainable outputs including sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) generated from biomass. Moreover, an additional memorandum of understanding was signed to develop Asia's first closed-loop chemical recycling pilot project, which aims to tackle post-consumer plastic waste generated from low-value municipal resources. This aligns with Singapore’s Zero Waste Masterplan, signifying a crucial step toward mitigating the global plastic crisis.

Addressing Legislative Challenges

With increasing global regulations on plastic recycling, such as the EU's PPWR regulation and others introduced in France and India, the industry faces pressure to evolve. Vary Tech’s comprehensive package is designed to transition from traditional pyrolysis methods to a more stable production of compliant chemical feedstocks. It converts mixed, low-value polyolefin waste into high-quality petrochemical raw materials, effectively contributing to the circular economy.

Innovative Pyrolysis Technology

At the core of this initiative is Vary Tech's proprietary oxygen-free pyrolysis technology, honed over two decades and multiple iterations. Capable of processing 150 tons per day per unit, this system has operated over 8,000 hours annually, ensuring remarkable operational stability. The PPO generated undergoes further enhancements via Evonik’s Rocket module, which removes impurities, followed by advanced hydrotreatment and fractionation processes conducted by SupeZET.

The initiative ensures a seamless integration into global supply chains for petrochemicals and lowers carbon fuels. This addresses technological challenges previously hindering high-end circular economy practices.

Broad Application of Recycling Technology

Vary Tech’s technology is not limited to plastic waste; it has demonstrated compatibility with a variety of feedstocks including used tires, hazardous industrial waste, medical waste, and renewable energy solid wastes. Over 100 commercial pyrolysis lines are installed globally, showcasing its extensive application and adaptability across different waste types.

Additionally, Vary Tech has announced advancements in mechanical recycling methods. Leveraging 16 years of expertise, they have presented their AI-driven smart dismantling system for home appliances. This system, with a remarkable capacity of 200 units per hour, provides high-purity separation of electronic waste, significantly enhancing recycling efficacy and proving beneficial for industry partners like Haier, TCL, and Midea.

Conclusion

Transitioning from mechanical to chemical recycling, Vary Tech is poised to widen the spectrum of recycling technologies available. This innovative approach aims to unify global supply chains, delivering scalable and economically viable solutions that are fundamental to achieving broader climate action goals and boosting the circular economy.
