DePoly
For a Sustainable Future
Technology
Simple Sustainable Recycling
Our innovative low-cost low-energy process produces terephthalic acid (TPA) and mono ethylene glycol
(MEG) from post-consumer PET plastic waste.
We depolymerize all PET plastics including mixed color, multi-layer and polyester fibers at room temperature without
any additional heat or pressure.
Our process can selectively treat PET plastic in the presence of other plastics like polypropylene or polyvinyl chloride,
which is the challenge of current recycling technologies.
Our technology only involves sustainable and environmentally friendly chemicals.
Impact
A Sustainable Circular Economy for PET
Sustainability
We are closing the loop on PET production by recycling post-consumer PET plastic waste.
Our products are then directly used to remade new PET plastic.
Cleaning our landfills and oceans
By implementing our technology, we are determined to recycle millions of tons of waste plastics that are polluting our natural environment back into the production system.
Reduce reliance on oil
Our technology can reduce our dependence on oil products in production of 100% recycled PET resins
For every ton of plastic that we recycle, we save the equivalent of:
10 passengers flying
London - New York
4 EU Households annual
electricity
431 less trees being
cut down and used
A car travelling around the world
18 Barrels of burnt
Oil
