Microwave Chemical Co., Ltd. is a Japan-based process technology company specializing in the use of microwave energy for industrial chemical manufacturing and recycling. The company designs and scales continuous microwave reactors that enable rapid, selective heating of reaction media, offering alternatives to conventional thermal processes.
Its technology is applied across areas such as chemical recycling of plastics (including depolymerization of acrylics to monomers), pyrolysis of mixed waste polymers, and processing of carbon- and resin-based materials. Microwave Chemical collaborates with chemical producers to develop and commercialize processes, typically through joint development, pilot demonstration, and licensing or equipment supply. By electrifying process heat and improving thermal efficiency, its platforms target lower energy use and reduced greenhouse-gas emissions in chemical production and materials circularity.
