Every year 56 M tonnes of PET plastic is produced, but only 9% is recycled. This is largely due to the fact that for PET plastic to be recycled it needs to be clean, sorted, and can't be mixed with other plastics. As a chemical recycling company DePoly SA is tackling the plastic problem via its enhanced recycling technology that converts post-consumer PET plastic back to its main raw components, at room temperature, without any additional heat or pressure. The raw material can then be sold back to industry, so that new virgin quality PET plastic items can be made, creating a truly circular plastic economy.
