DePoly's Recycling Technology
Abstract
Abstract
DePoly has developed a process that converts unsorted, dirty, post-consumer PET plastic items into virgin raw materials. DePoly's depolymerisation technology breaks down PET plastic into its monomers, purified terephthalic acid (PTA) and monoethylene glycol (MEG). This hydrolysis-based advanced recycling method has all the benefits of virgin product without the production impact of fossil fuels.
The DePoly process uses environmentally friendly chemicals and requires no pre-washing, sorting or separation. In addition, unlike the harsh requirements of other hydrolysis methods, such as high temperatures and long times, DePoly technology does not require the addition of heat or pressure. Our technology is highly selective to process PET plastic, even when mixed with other plastics such as PE and PP. 100% recycled PET monomers can then be sold back to various industries to make new virgin PET products.
