Innovative Recycling Package on Display at IFAT Munich 2026

At the prestigious IFAT Munich 2026 exhibition, a groundbreaking initiative has been unveiled by Vary Tech, a prominent name in the solid waste resource sector, alongside industry frontrunners Evonik and SupeZET. This collaboration has introduced a comprehensive process package aimed at converting waste plastics into high-quality Plastic Pyrolysis Oil (PPO) and circular naphtha, marking a significant step toward sustainability in the plastics industry.

Aiming for Commercialization

To spearhead the commercialization of this revolutionary technology, Vary Tech and SupeZET have established a strategic partnership with the formation of CARBON LOOP SYSTEMS PTE. LTD. in Singapore. This venture focuses on advancing chemical plastic recycling processes and developing sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) sourced from biomass. The collaboration further extends to a memorandum of understanding (MOU) signed with Singapore-based JE Synergy to initiate Asia's first closed-loop chemical recycling demonstration project, targeting post-consumer plastics derived from low-value municipal waste. This initiative aligns with Singapore's ambitious Zero Waste Masterplan, aiming to tackle the growing concern of plastic waste within the region.

Addressing Global Challenges

With an increasing emphasis on stringent global regulations regarding plastic recycling—including the EU's Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), France's Anti-Waste and Circular Economy (AGEC) law, and India's revised Plastic Waste Management rules—it has become imperative for the industry to evolve. The shift from rudimentary pyrolysis techniques to reliable output of compliant chemical feedstocks is vital. This partnership effectively addresses the circular naphtha requirements by converting otherwise challenging-to-recycle mixed polyolefin (PP/PE) waste into high-quality petrochemical feedstocks, particularly indispensable for the sustainability goals of modern economies.

Cutting-Edge Technology Behind the Initiative

At the core of this innovative package lies Vary Tech's oxygen-free pyrolysis technology, which has seen extensive development over two decades and through six iterations. This advanced technology operates at a capacity of 150 tons per day and boasts over 8,000 operating hours annually, ensuring high efficiency and stability in processing. The resulting PPO is further enhanced using Evonik's proprietary Rocket module, designed for effective upgrading and impurity extraction. Subsequently, SupeZET applies its advanced hydrogenation and fractionation techniques for meticulous refining. The complete production chain—comprising feedstock pretreatment, continuous pyrolysis, deep purification, and product off-take—ensures the generation of both circular naphtha and high-quality PPO that meet international standards. This seamless integration unlocks accessibility to global petrochemical and low-carbon fuel supply chains.

Broadening the Scope of Application

Vary Tech’s oxygen-free pyrolysis technology is not solely limited to waste plastics but also caters to an array of feedstock types, including waste tires, oil sludge, hazardous industrial waste, and even medical waste. Over 100 commercial pyrolysis lines have been successfully deployed across the globe, highlighting the technology's versatility and resiliency.

In tandem with its chemical recycling advancements, Vary Tech remains committed to mechanical recycling processes. Boasting 16 years of operational experience and a unique dual-drive model—combining high-end equipment manufacturing with industrial operations—the company recently displayed its revolutionary AI-enhanced intelligent home appliance dismantling system at the IFAT event. This machine has set a global benchmark by achieving a dismantling capacity of 200 units per hour while ensuring high-purity separation across various electronic waste categories. Vary Tech has partnered with key industry players, such as Haier, TCL, and Midea, enabling green recycling services for over 130 million obsolete appliances worldwide.

Aiming for a Sustainable Future

Transitioning from mechanical to chemical recycling, Vary Tech is continuously integrating global supply chain resources to provide scalable, economically viable, and sustainable solutions. This commitment supports broader climate action objectives and promotes the circular economy concept. The collaborative efforts of Vary Tech, Evonik, and SupeZET at IFAT Munich 2026 represent a crucial movement towards a sustainable future, addressing the pivotal issue of waste plastic management and recycling in the modern world.
