DePoly

More than 90 per cent of the world's plastic is not recycled, but is instead incinerated, landfilled or ends up in nature. Conventional methods are inefficient – mechanical recycling degrades quality, while chemical processes are expensive and energy intensive.

DePoly solves this problem. Founded in 2020, the company has developed a breakthrough technology that breaks down PET and polyester into their original building blocks without the use of high energy consumption or toxic chemicals. The result is high-quality, recycled PET that replaces fossil-based raw materials and enables an infinite plastic recycling loop.

Using a gentle chemical process with environmentally friendly, commercially available chemicals, DePoly reduces CO₂ emissions by up to 66 percent. The resulting monomers – PTA and MEG – are of the highest quality and can be seamlessly integrated into existing value chains. DePoly proves that sustainability and economics go hand in hand – shaping the future of the plastics industry.
