RIKEN TECHNOS rebounds for the first time in seven days on launch of dechlorination oil conversion technology for chlorine-containing waste plastics

RIKEN TECHNOS CORPORATION <4220> shares rebounded for the first time in seven sessions on Monday after announcing a joint development agreement with Assist and K-Ship to develop dechlorination oil conversion technology. The technology thermally decomposes chlorine-containing waste plastics to produce recovered oil with a low chlorine concentration.

When converting waste plastics into oil, chlorine components derived from sources such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC) make the recovered oil difficult to use as fuel or chemical feedstock. Effective chlorine removal is therefore critical to the decomposition and conversion process. Having spent several years collaborating on dechlorination technology, the three companies successfully developed a lab-scale process that achieves ultra-low chlorine concentrations. The new agreement aims to accelerate this research, with plans to construct a pilot-scale facility in 2027 to verify and replicate the lab results.
