DePoly: closing the loop on PET recycling.
Conventional PET plastic recycling systems suffer several challenges, as they require accepted PET plasticwaste to be ideal -- uncontaminated by the presence of PVC (or other) plastics, food residue, or uncleaned containers. EPFL spin-off DePoly has developed a room-temperature process that depolymerizes PET and other ester-based plastics, without the need to sort or clean plastics first. This will make it easier to recycle more plastic, more efficiently while using less energy.

DePoly’s technology recycles unsorted, dirty PET waste into virgin-grade raw materials. Those PET precursors, PTA and MEG, are used by the industry to produce new plastics without the need for fossil fuels, while diverting valuable materials from landfills and incineration.
