Recycling Technology
Research Cluster
We turn plastic waste into useful products like furniture, asphalt, and alternative fuel. Our research leads the way in circular economy practices through real industrial applications.
Research Focus
Mechanical Recycling
Transformation of plastic waste into new products through shredding, melting, and remolding. This process supports resource conservation and reduces environmental impact.
Chemical Recycling
Breaking down plastic waste into monomers or valuable chemicals using advanced depolymerization processes, enables the production of high-quality recycled materials for new applications.
