Paving the path towards a greener world

Chemical recycling of PET involves utilizing various depolymerization techniques to break down waste PET polymers into valuable chemicals, such as oligomers and monomers. Compared to traditional mechanical recycling, chemical recycling offers the advantage of maintaining the same quality.

MADE: The Process
From linear to circular
Faster
Depolymerization
Using microwaves it is possible to go to completion in less than 10 minutes, as microwaves are better reaching the target.
01
Flexible and solid
Purification
Due to our process, it is possible to treat up to 30% of non-polyester material (colorants, dyes, PU, PA, cotton, etc.).
02
Infinite
Re-Polymerization
We are erasing polymer’s memory, so going back to monomers (i.e., TPA and MEG) allows an infinite polymerization without affecting the quality.
03
No changes
Manufacturing
The polymer is no longer recycled PET, but new material from recycled monomers. It means you do not need to change anything in the existing production processes.
04
Less demanding
Sorting
If the technology is able to treat up to 30% of non-polyester material, sorting can be less precise and in return less expensive.

The Output

Monomers

TPA & MEG are the outputs of MADE, our Microwave Assisted Depolymerization. Although the TA is capable to be repolymerized, to be able to control crystal size and shape, TPA is further purified via crystallization. MEG is just distilled, as thanks of the process we can treat the liquid phase with an amount of water of less then 2%.

Due to high purity of the monomers obtained with our process, it is possible to obtain virgin-like products without compromises. This is valid if you want to obtain PET, but is is also true for other polymers (e.g., PBT), or even if you want to use our monomers as intermediated for other products (e.g., aramids).

Industries

Textile

Yarns
Starting from the PET produced using recycled TPA and recycled MEG from our process, we are able to obtain FOY, POY, DTY, and FDY, with dpf starting from 1.

Fabrics
Yarns can be used to obtain various fabrics. The material is the same as those obtained from fossil fuels, so there are no issues in any of the processing steps.

Packaging

Bottles
After SSP, it is possible to produce bottles starting from monomers obtained from 100% textile.

Intermediates
TPA and MEG are sufficiently pure to be used in the production of other intermediates, without generating additional byproducts.
They can also be utilized in the production of other final products.
