Company Overview
R-Plus Japan is a joint venture company established in June 2020 by multiple cross-industry partners from the plastics value chain, including Suntory, Toyobo, and Rengo. The company's primary mission is to develop and commercialize advanced chemical recycling technology for used plastics to address global plastic waste issues. In partnership with U.S. based Anellotech, Inc., R-Plus Japan is focused on a technology that directly converts mixed plastic waste into basic chemicals like benzene, toluene, and xylene. This process is expected to be more efficient and have a lower carbon footprint than traditional recycling methods. The company aims to commercialize this technology by 2027 and is working to build a comprehensive circular economy supply chain.
