Build chemical recycling plants for plastic waste. In a global emergency, Saipem e Quantafuel, a company specializing in recycling, responded with a memorandum of understanding to collaborate in the industrialization and construction of specific plants. The Memorandum of Understanding allows Saipem to market and build industrial pyrolysis plants on a global level, under the license of Quantafuel technology. A thermochemical process that converts solid plastic waste into reusable liquid or gaseous products. After the treatment they can be used as fuel or chemical materials. Saipem will provide smart management and maintenance services, as well as plant performance guarantees, jointly issued by both companies.
From waste also new projects
The agreement provides for the development of scalable and modular solutions for all iplastic waste recycling plants, which will be adapted to the specificities of the different sites. The technological solution, among the most modern, will allow users to increase the use of mixed plastics in the production of pyrolysis oil.
Through the collaboration with Quantafuel, Saipem will provide globally one of the first modular applications for the circular economy. Its customers will be supported in the path of sustainability with this innovative plastic recycling solution. Then there is the market. The two partners also undertake to supply a number of projects to the market, enabling both parties to pursue their respective objectives in the circular economy to maximize the benefits for the environment. In other words, both Saipem and Quantafuel take a significant step in promoting an energy regeneration model that can contribute to achieving the objectives of the NetZero. The reduction and subsequent valorisation of waste through chemical recycling of plastics will create new economies with benefits for the environment.
