The world faces a severe plastic problem. Every year, less than 9% of all plastics are recycled, while a staggering 91% of packaging waste remains unrecycled and ends up in landfills or the environment. The lifetime of plastic in landfills can be up to 500 years, contributing to an alarming build-up of waste.

‍

‍

The environmental impact is further exacerbated by the single-use plastic problem, with $120 billion worth of plastic used just once and discarded. Furthermore, 10% of global oil production is used for plastic creation, which is set to increase in the future.

‍

In 2050, it is projected that 20% of all oil will be used to produce plastic.

‍

The PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) segment is particularly problematic. Despite being widely used for packaging food, beverages, and personal care products, less than 50% of PET plastic bottles produced are recycled, amounting to between 50 to 500 billion unrecycled PET products annually.

‍

Through our advanced recycling technology, we can recycle ALL types of PET plastic items, including multi-layer items and multi-colour fibers, without the need to pre-sort, pre-wash, or separate out other plastics.

‍

‍

This significantly expands the potential for recycling beyond the current 9%, taking a big leap towards achieving a truly circular economy.

‍

Our innovative process transforms PET plastic waste back into its raw monomers, PTA and MEG. These materials are of the same quality and purity as their traditionally sourced counterparts, allowing the plastic industry to produce virgin quality PET plastic items from recycled materials. This closes the loop in the PET plastic value chain, reducing our dependency on oil and lowering CO2 emissions.

‍

Moreover, our method requires 66% less energy than traditional plastic production processes, demonstrating both economic and environmental efficiency. By converting plastic waste into reusable raw materials, we address the pressing issues of landfill waste and environmental pollution, and ultimately contribute to global sustainability efforts.

DePoly provides a transformative solution to the global plastic waste crisis.

‍

‍

Our proprietary process enables the recycling of all types of PET plastics, tackling a variety of items including multi-layer items and multi-color fibers. The conventional barriers of pre-sorting, pre-washing, and separating other plastics are completely bypassed, drastically simplifying and enhancing the recycling process.

‍

‍

At the heart of our process is a chemical recycling technology that transforms PET plastic waste back into its raw monomers, purified terephthalic acid (PTA) and mono-ethylene glycol (MEG). These raw materials, fundamental in the creation of PET plastic, are recovered from the waste without compromising their quality and purity.

‍

They are fully equivalent to their fossil sourced counterparts, hence they can be utilized by the plastic industry to create virgin quality PET plastic items.

‍

The recycled PTA and MEG produced are then available to be used in the production of new PET products, closing the circular loop and significantly reducing the need for newly extracted oil-based resources. In essence, we enable a continuous cycle of use, disposal, and reuse of PET plastics, all the while maintaining high-quality standards and significantly lowering the environmental impact.
