Introduction to Honeywell UOP Ecofining
Honeywell's UOP Ecofining process offers a groundbreaking solution to address the global challenge of plastic waste. With the potential to recycle up to 90 percent of global plastic waste, this innovative technology aims to achieve true circularity in plastic production and promote sustainability.
Reclaim, Recycle, Repeat
The UOP Ecofining process is designed to reclaim and recycle plastic waste efficiently. By utilizing advanced plastics recycling technology, Honeywell's solution can increase the amount of plastics that can be recycled by three times. This technology also displaces fossil feedstocks in new plastic production, leading to a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.
Producing Virgin Quality Materials with Half the CO₂ Footprint
Through the UOP Ecofining process, it is possible to produce high-quality recycled polymer feedstock with half the CO₂ footprint of traditional methods. This process requires less hydrotreating or pre-processing, allowing for higher blend limits and increased recycled plastic production. By displacing fossil feedstocks and preventing conventional waste handling, this technology supports a more sustainable plastic production cycle.
Collaboration with Policymakers and NGOs
Honeywell's UOP Ecofining process offers a valuable solution for policymakers and non-governmental organizations seeking to reduce plastic waste and resource the future effectively. By expanding the forms of plastic that can be recycled, this technology incentivizes improvements in plastic waste collection and sorting, paving the way for a more circular value chain.
Partnerships with Waste Management Companies
By partnering with waste management companies, Honeywell is actively working to increase the amount of plastic that can be recycled. The UOP Ecofining process aims to minimize plastic waste destined for landfills or incineration, ultimately reducing the CO₂ footprint associated with handling mixed waste plastics. This collaborative approach is crucial in achieving true circularity in plastic recycling.
Driving a Circular Plastics Economy
Honeywell's UpCycle Process Technology, including the UOP Ecofining process, represents a significant step towards creating a circular plastics economy. Developed within Honeywell's Sustainable Technology Solutions group, this innovative technology underscores the company's commitment to delivering environmentally sustainable solutions that benefit both customers and society as a whole.
