The world's first 'infinite' plastic - BBC Future
In the UK, Mura Technology has begun construction of the world's first commercial-scale plant able to recycle all kinds of plastic. The plant can handle mixed plastic, coloured plastic, plastic...
After years of dabbling, Japan gets serious about plastics
Almost at the same time, Idemitsu Kosan, another oil producer, will start up a 15,000 t per year plant in Chiba, Japan, that will implement a catalytic plastics recycling process from the Japanese firm Environment Energy.

Recycling and the future of the plastics industry | McKinsey
We have also explored scenarios at $50 and $100 a barrel, given the historical volatility of oil prices and because the feasibility of plastics recycling is sensitive to these prices. Our modeling suggests the value-creation potential at $50 per barrel would be approximately one-third of what could be achieved in the reference case, while at
Plasticizers: Types, Uses, Classification, Selection & Regulation
It is almost colorless and odorless oily liquid. It is very slightly soluble in water but soluble in alcohols, hexane etc. while miscible and compatible with all the monomeric plasticizers used in PVC compounding. Melting point: 43°C (45°F; 230 K) Boiling point: 244-252°C at 0.7 kPa.
- What plasticizers does OCI make?
- Based on the price competitiveness of Phthalic Anhydride (PA), the base raw material for Plasticizers, OCI produces major Poly Vinyl Chloride phthalate-based Plasticizers (DINP, TINIM, and DINA). In 2016, an exclusive production line for DOTP was added, further expanding OCI’s plasticizer business. 1991
- Where are plasticizers made?
- It is produced by the ester reaction between alcohol such as Octanol (2-EH), INA, etc., and acids such as PA, TPA, TMA, etc. Depending on the base material, different grades of plasticizers are produced. Korea, India, Southeast Asian countries, Russia, USA, etc
- Which countries manufacture poly vinyl chloride phthalate based plasticizers?
- Korea, India, Southeast Asian countries, Russia, USA, etc Based on the price competitiveness of Phthalic Anhydride (PA), the base raw material for Plasticizers, OCI produces major Poly Vinyl Chloride phthalate-based Plasticizers (DINP, TINIM, and DINA).
- What products does Yokkaichi manufacture?
- ISO14001 certified plant The Yokkaichi Plant manufactures industrial alcohols, acetates, ketones and other solvents, as well as plasticizer raw materials. In addition, it manufactures fine chemicals, including organic acids, specialty polymers, lubricant raw materials and high-purity solvents for electronic materials.
- Does Japan produce plastic waste?
- Japan also produces a large share of the global plastic waste. The Chinese and Southeast Asian bans on plastic waste imports have shifted Japan’s strategy towards the development of environmentally sustainable alternatives to generic plastics and the renewed focus on developing high-grade materials for machinery applications.
- What are the different types of plasticizers?
- Plasticizers are categorized as phthalate-based, trimellitate-based, phosphoric acid-based and epoxy-based depending on the base material. It is produced by the ester reaction between alcohol such as Octanol (2-EH), INA, etc., and acids such as PA, TPA, TMA, etc. Depending on the base material, different grades of plasticizers are produced.
