A new program for integrated recycle system of chemical products

A working group of the Society of Chemical Engineers of Japan (SCEJ) attempted to propose a new design concept for chemical products by analyzing and investigating chemical industries, recent development of computer science and life cycle assessment method. The keys of the proposed concept are the first to introduce multi-recycle system for the individual chemical product and the second to introduce computer science to design the product from the molecular level, taking into account not only its function but also recycability.
