NEXTCHEM to Conduct Feasibility Study for Röhm's PMMA Recycling Plant in Germany

Project Overview

NEXTCHEM, through its subsidiary MyRemono, has been awarded a feasibility study by Röhm for a chemical recycling plant in Worms, Germany. The plant will recycle polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) scraps, processing 5,000 tons annually, and will be integrated into Röhm’s existing facilities.

Technology and Environmental Impact

The project utilizes NEXTCHEM's NXRe™ technology, a molten metal depolymerization process that continuously recycles PMMA into ultra-pure recycled methyl methacrylate (r-MMA) with virgin-like quality. This technology is expected to reduce the carbon footprint of PMMA by over 90% compared to conventional methods, using PMMA scraps as Secondary Raw Material (SRM) to replace fossil-based raw materials.

Strategic Goals

This initiative supports Röhm’s goal to eliminate incineration and landfill of PMMA-related production waste by 2030, enhancing circularity and sustainability in the PMMA industry. The project also marks a step towards licensing NXRe™ technology, with the first industrial-scale plant in Italy expected to be completed in 2026.
