bottles, textiles, carpets
PET raw material
Chemical recycling process that allows for
impurity and colour removal from plastic
feedstock, as well as chemical recovery.
Jeplan 49 (Japan)
Post-consumer PET
bottles, textile waste
BHET flake, PET
resin, yarn, fabric
Subsidiary company: PET Refine
Technology
Non-PET clothing or materials separated
and sent for recycling by other
technologies. Depolymerization to recover
BHET (likely glycolysis), decolourization,
and polymerization to PET.
Loop™ Industries 50 (Canada)
Post-consumer PET
waste (any)
Loop™-Branded
PET plastic
Patented zero energy depolymerization
technology. Waste is converted to
constituent monomers: PTA and MEG
without heat or pressure. Purification step:
dyes, additives, and impurities are removed.
Repolymerization of monomers to Loop™
plastic.
Moral Fiber 51 (formerly
Ambercycle)
(USA)
PET bottles, post-
consumer textiles
PET raw
material/feedstock
(PTA), PET fibre
Chemical/Biological Process: Engineered
microbes to metabolize plastic waste
material to generate PTA as feedstock for
polyester production.
Polygenta 52 (India)
Post-consumer PET
bottles
Filament yarn
(50-300 denier),
chips
ReNew™ patented technology. Chemical
process (glycolysis) converts waste to
liquid esters (recycled esters equivalent to
virgin), glycol is also recovered. Proprietary
decolourization process is performed to
remove impurities.
