Can, waste, change everyone's tomorrow for the better?

Can, waste, change everyone's tomorrow for the better?

Yes, thanks to a technology that makes it possible to use not mechanically recyclable waste, instead of burning them or sending them to landfills, turning them into an important raw material for creating new products and alternative, low-carbon fuels, such as methanol, ethanol and hydrogen, without using new fossil resources.

La tecnologia innovativa Waste to Chemicals, inserita nei Distretti Circolari Verdi di NextChem e sviluppata dalla sua società MyRechemical, non ha emissioni nocive e può ridurre fino al 90% quelle di CO2. Inoltre, permette di sfruttare al meglio le risorse minimizzando gli scarti e di valorizzare il capitale umano presente sul territorio, creando benefici per l’ambiente, per l’economia e per le persone.

Waste to chemicals:
Un'opportunità per l’ambiente, il lavoro e per il nostro domani.

NextChem’s Green Circular District model

Decarbonisation by recycling: thanks to the Green Circular District model at the core of the energy transition, this is now possible

With our Green Circular District model, recycled polymers, chemicals, hydrogen and low-carbon fuels can be produced by recycling plastics and recovering non-recyclable waste.

The model was developed by NextChem, a subsidiary of the Maire Tecnimont Group, which operates in the field of green chemistry and technologies to support the energy transition.

NextChem’s roadmap is based on three clusters activities: Greening the Brown – emissions reducing technologies for existing conventional plants; Circular Economy – technologies for recycling plastic waste and other waste materials; Green-Green – technologies for the production of intermediate products, biofuels and bioplastics.

NextChem’s portfolio includes proprietary technologies, exclusively licensed technologies, technology integration platforms and EPC services.

Today, the world is discussing how to use technology to incorporate the natural function of trees into the maintenance of balanced carbon levels to support climate stability. The path to achieve this has been carved out, and it’s called the energy transition. But what does this mean exactly?

The Green Circular District benefits the environment, the economy and society

#1DecarbonizationIt makes it possible to produce low-carbon chemicals and fuels that reduce CO2 emissions and are necessary for sustainable mobility.
#2RecyclingIncreases the recycling rate by reducing incineration and landfill use.
#3EmploymentMakes it possible to convert conventional industrial sites through green chemistry and create new jobs.
#4Local EconomiesThis model makes it possible to reduce imports and dependence on foreign countries for strategic chemicals for the economy and to promote supply chains and new industries.

Is CO2 one of the products of chemical waste conversion?

Yes, there is a small amount of CO2 produced by the Green Circular District. But we are striving for carbon neutrality by monitoring parameters and incorporating green hydrogen into the process, so we are aiming for our carbon impact to be completely offset.
