Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation (MCC) has decided to develop its first HydroPRS™ (Hydrothermal Plastic Recycling Solution) project in Japan.
This project, which will be based at MCC’s Ibaraki Plant in Japan, is expected to complete construction in 2023. It will have the capacity to handle 20,000 tonnes of plastic waste per year – with MCC studying the possibility of increasing capacity in the future. Initially, the project will aim to use post-industrial plastics.
