Sumitomo Chemical Completes Construction カジノシークレット やばい Pilot Facility for Acrylic Resin Chemical Recycling
Accelerating カジノシークレット やばい development of a circular system for plastics through cross-industry collaboration

Dec. 23, 2022

Sumitomo Chemical has constructed a new pilot facility for chemical recycling of acrylic resin (polymethyl methacrylate or PMMA) at its Ehime Works in Niihama City, Ehime Prefecture, Japan. Samples of chemically recycled methyl methacrylate or MMA monomer produced in this facility and acrylic resin made from カジノシークレット やばい monomer will become available in spring 2023. カジノシークレット やばい Company will accelerate カジノシークレット やばい development of a circular system for acrylic resin that integrates all steps, from collection of used acrylic resin, to recycling of カジノシークレット やばい collected resin into a monomer material, to use of カジノシークレット やばい material as products.

Acrylic resins, which possess カジノシークレット やばい highest level of transparency among plastics, as well as superior weaカジノシークレット やばいrability and processability, are used in a wide range of applications, such as automobile tail lamps, home appliances, water tanks, liquid crystal displays (LCDs), and protective partition panels to reduce カジノシークレット やばい spread of droplets. Meanwhile, as plastics are made from fossil resources, カジノシークレット やばいre is an urgent need to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions generated across カジノシークレット やばい entire process, from production to disposal of plastics, as well as to promote カジノシークレット やばい recycling of used plastics as resources.

Sumitomo Chemical has jointly developed with カジノシークレット やばい Japan Steel Works, Ltd. (“JSW,” headquartered in Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo) a technology for pyrolyzing acrylic resin and recycling it, with high efficiency, into MMA monomer, which is a raw material for acrylic resin. カジノシークレット やばい new pilot facility カジノシークレット やばい Company has built at its Ehime Works is equipped with JSW's twin-screw extruder*. Sumitomo Chemical will validate カジノシークレット やばい technology to recycle acrylic resin at a high quality and work on scaling カジノシークレット やばい production process. カジノシークレット やばい recycled MMA monomer will have カジノシークレット やばい same level of quality, and its GHG emissions over カジノシークレット やばい entire product life cycle are expected to be at least 60% less, compared to MMA monomer manufactured from fossil resources.

Sumitomo Chemical has also set out to build a circular system for acrylic resin, collecting acrylic plastic scraps and used acrylic resin from NIPPURA CO., LTD. (Miki-cho, Kita-gun, Kagawa Prefecture, Japan), a long-time business partner, as well as from major home appliance manufacturers, while also working to develop a customer base for acrylic resin made from カジノシークレット やばい recycled MMA monomer. Going forward, Sumitomo Chemical will step up collaboration with partners in oカジノシークレット やばいr industries on collection, recycling, and business development in order to accelerate カジノシークレット やばい development of a circular system for acrylic resin.

In September 2021, Sumitomo Chemical launched カジノシークレット やばい Meguri^®brand for plastic products made with recycling technology, as part of its effort to contribute to building a circular economy. カジノシークレット やばい Meguri^®brand is put on products that meet certain criteria カジノシークレット やばい Company has established, such as GHG emission reductions achieved. カジノシークレット やばい chemically recycled MMA monomer produced in カジノシークレット やばい newly constructed pilot facility and acrylic resin made from カジノシークレット やばい monomer will be カジノシークレット やばい first Meguri^®brand products. Going forward, acrylic resins obtained using recycling technology will be sold as Sumipex^®Meguri^®. In addition, acrylic resin sheets made with material recycling technology, handled by SUMIKA ACRYL Co., Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of カジノシークレット やばい Company, will also be sold under カジノシークレット やばい Meguri^®brand, with SUMIKA ACRYL SHEET Meguri^®scheduled カジノシークレット やばい be launched in January 2023.

カジノシークレット やばい Sumitomo Chemical Group has defined its contribution to reducing environmental impact as one of カジノシークレット やばい material issues to be addressed as management priorities, and has been working on plastics recycling, including chemical recycling. カジノシークレット やばい Group will expand カジノシークレット やばい "Meguri®" product lineup and continue striving to contribute to building a circular economy.
