Lotte Chemical uses recycled naphtha to produce PC

Recently, Lotte Chemical announced that the company has begun to use the recycled naphtha produced from waste plastic pyrolysis oil for the commercial production of petrochemical products.

Lotte Chemical said that polycarbonate (PC) produced from recycled naphtha has excellent impact resistance, heat resistance and transparency, and can be used for motors, electronics, household appliances and automotive headlights.

In August this year, Lotte Chemical obtained renewable naphtha supply from Modern Oil Bank, and then began to produce polycarbonate through naphtha decomposition equipment of Lishui Plant. The products will be available to the market at the end of this month.

In July this year, seven synthetic resin products produced by Lotte Chemical obtained the international sustainable carbon certification. The company said that in the future, it will expand the production and sales of recycled naphtha products and strengthen environmental, social and corporate governance management.
