Our solutions for sustainable polymers
New energy carriers are necessary in order to fight global warming, through sustainable polymers obtained, for example, through a circular model where waste is finally considered a valuable feedstock.
Our technology offering in Sustainable Polymers is extensive and comprehensive: Plastic Upcycling and Compounding, Chemical Recycling, and Biodegradable and compostable polymers. Towards increasingly challenging objectives for plastic waste recycling, NextChem proprietary technology allows to invert the common and usual “waste- to-market" approach into a customer driven "products-from-waste” strategy. Starting from the downstream market demand in terms of polymer quality, we can transform a plastic waste into a secondary raw material with physical and chemical characteristics and mechanical properties similar to those of virgin polymers, replacing polymers derived from fossil feedstock.

Sustainable technology solutions for the plastic manufacturing industry
NX CONSER™ Halo-Butyl Rubber
Step up in quality, do not compromise on sustainability. CONSER rubbers are synthesized through the copolymerization of Isobutylene and a minor proportion of Isoprene, conducted in the presence of methyl chloride at low temperatures, around -100°C. Recycling process of both feedstock and solvent was refined to maximize solvent recovery, while also minimizing utility usage and raw material consumption.
NX CONSER™ Duetto
Building a sustainable future through biodegradable plastics. CONSER via its CONSER Duetto technology can provide solutions for production of the monomers needed for the production of PBS.
PBS is a biodegradable plastic that can be employed in the manufacturing of packing and films for consumer and industrial applications.
NX CONSER™ Aromatics
Driving innovation in TMA technology. TMA is pivotal in producing esters for PVC and coatings, while Isophthalic acid is a key component in PET for drink bottles and high-quality resins.
NX Replast™
Our solution for plastic upcycling. NX Replast is a complete solution for a fast deployment of new advanced Mechanical Upcycling plants to maximize the valorization of plastic waste into circular r-polymers, based on the experience gained in the development and industrial operations of MyReplast Industries’ reference plant.
NX CONSER™ C2 Derivatives
Pioneering adaptable plant design for tailored MEA, DEA, and TEA production.
NX CONSER™ C3 Derivatives
Pioneering green technology for high-value molecules. CONSER is capable to flexibly valorize C3 (Propylene) stream into high added value molecules, with a wide variety of application, such as chemicals intermediate, pharmaceuticals and mineral oil purification, and more.
NX CONSER™ C4 Derivatives
Reducing waste, elevating quality. We are capable to flexibly valorize C4 (Butane) stream into high added value molecules via upgrading to Maleic Anhydride. Strating from C4 stream, we can produce a plethora of molecules that have a wide variety of application: from biodegradable plastic production to the manufacturing of Li-ion batteries
Our world is being impacted by powerful trends that are reshaping it and go into the core of our daily lives.
