As good as new: Our recycled PTA and MEG are virgin-grade drop-in solutions substituting fossil-based incumbents
From old to new, again and again
Our technology breaks down PET and Polyester back into their original monomers, Purified Terephthalic Acid (PTA) and Mono-Ethylene Glycol (MEG). The recycled monomers are virgin-grade quality, identical to oil-based counterparts. Our PTA and MEG offset the need for new oil extraction to produce plastics and chemicals.
Circularity is at the heart of what we do. We work closely with companies to provide a solution for their complex waste. Our process turns this waste into quality raw materials, rendering circular applications of PET possible.
Challenge
Today, only easy-to-recycle plastic items such as clear PET bottles are recycled accounting for less than 10% of all post consumer plastic waste. The remainder including PET packaging and polyester textiles are incinerated or landfilled, resulting in pollution and the loss of raw material.
Solution
DePoly's enhanced recycling process can treat difficult-to-recycle plastics, including multi-layer packaging and colored textiles. Our technology enables circularity of polyester and PET plastics by producing raw monomers (PTA and MEG), which are the building blocks of all PET.
Products
Our Purified Terephthalic Acid (PTA) and Mono-Ethylene Glycol (MEG) are developed as a drop-in solution for PET production. DePoly's PTA and MEG can substitute the fossil fuel incumbents for our customers, reducing the environmental impacts of our customers' applications.
Applications
We work closely with diverse companies in the FMCG, packaging, textiles, fashion and technical sectors to support their targets in sustainability. In addition, we create value for our customers by being able to integrate our PTA and MEG seamlessly into their existing value chains.
