Zeon to recycle COP film production waste at new facility in Japan
Japanese chemical manu- facturer Zeon Corporation has completed construction of a recycling plant for cyclo olefin polymers (COP) to be marketed under the brand names Zeonex and Zeonor cyclo at its Takaoka site in Toyama Prefecture. The company is set to begin recycling its own products for the first time, while the new plant will not only

differentiate Zeon’s COP products but also reduce CO2 emissions. The new plant will recycle
waste resin generated when processing COP into film. COP film is widely used as retardation film for displays, taking advantage of properties such as optical stability and low water absorbency. Traditionally, COP has

been difficult for conven- tional recycling technolo- gies to achieve transparency and high purity, but Zeon claims its technology has made it possible to produce recycled resin of the same quality as virgin resin. Zeon plans to use the recycled resin to manufacture optical films in response to robust demand. �
