Circular Polymer Technology
Sulzer Japan Limited
Sulzer is a key shareholder in Worn Again Technologies, a company dedicated to textile recycling. In 2022 we announced that the first pilot plant will be built in Winterthur, Switzerland, and that Sulzer has increased its share in Worn Again Technologies. Building on our experience in the process development and licensing of polylactic acid (PLA) polymers and co-polymers, Chemtech is creating a portfolio of process technologies for biobased polymers. In 2022, significant progress was made on establishing pilot plants to test different raw materials, such as lactic acid, and developing formulas to modify properties of PLA polymers. Sulzer’s unique ring-opening technology to produce biopolymers such as PLA is suited to producing other biopolymers and co-polymers. It has been our goal to have a pilot plant platform available to test different synthesis routes and formulas on different scales to accelerate process development – and this was implemented in Switzerland in 2022.

PASSTO, an all-in-one service of collection, sorting, and redistribution of unnecessary items to realize a circular economy.
ECOMMIT Co.,Ltd.
We have been working on redistributing unnecessary items for over 15 years. However, the biggest challenge we face is the infrastructure for recycling does not exist close to consumers while the infrastructure for discarding items is close to our daily lives. In order to solve this problem, we have developed an original brand called “PASSTO” that handles collection, sorting, and redistribution of unnecessary items all at once.
