Our Technology

Engineered at the molecular level.

Our proprietary advanced recycling process breaks down hard-to-recycle PET plastic and polyester fibre into high-purity molecular building blocks, enabling the production of high-quality recycled PET for food-grade packaging, textiles and other demanding applications.

Our Process

Rebuilding PET from the molecular level

Our patented process transforms hard-to-recycle PET plastics and polyester fibre into high-quality recycled PET by breaking the material down to its molecular building blocks, purifying them, and rebuilding PET again.

  1. Mixed-colour post-consumer PET flake 1

    Feedstock

    Hard-to-recycle PET waste including mixed colour, low grade, post-consumer and post-industrial plastics.

  2. PET polymer chain breaking apart into BHET molecules 2

    Depolymerization

    Our proprietary low-temperature glycolysis breaks PET down into its molecular building blocks (BHET).

  3. Purification column separating impurities from BHET 3

    Purification

    The BHET is isolated and purified to remove contaminants, dyes and other impurities, producing high-quality BHET.

  4. Purified BHET molecules joining into a PET polymer chain 4

    Polymerization

    Purified BHET is polymerized to produce high-performance recycled PET with virgin-quality properties.

  5. Clear recycled PET pellets 5

    rPET

    High-quality recycled PET in pellet form for use in food-grade and high-performance applications.

    • Food-grade packaging
    • Textiles & fibers
    • Industrial applications

Why It Matters

Why it matters

Our technology is designed to deliver real circularity by producing high-quality recycled materials from challenging PET waste streams, enabling a more sustainable and resilient supply of PET for the future.

  • 01

    True circularity

    Instead of downcycling PET into lower-value applications, our process is designed to return PET to its molecular building blocks and enable it to become PET again.

  • 02

    High-quality monomer

    Our focus is not simply on PET conversion. We focus on recovering high-quality BHET, because the quality of the building block ultimately determines the quality of the recycled polymer.

  • 03

    Feedstock flexibility

    Our technology is being developed to process PET waste streams that are challenging for conventional recycling, expanding the range of material that can be returned to the circular economy.

Let's build a circular future for PET.
