Swiss company Sulzer has signed an agreement with circular technology firm Fuenix Ecogy to acquire a strategic stake in its plastic upcycling business.
The partnership will drive the development, commercialization and adoption of advanced, fully integrated solutions for plastic waste processing.
Sulzer says the move will allow it to offer complete recycling lines based on Fuenix’s Ecogy technology and Sulzer’s own separation and purification solutions.
The technology from Netherlands-based Fuenix Ecogy converts sorted end-of-life mixed plastic waste into high-value hydrocarbons with ‘virgin-like’ properties.
