DePoly’s core offering is a proprietary recycling technology that chemically breaks down PET plastics and polyester fibres into their base components—terephthalic acid (TPA) and ethylene glycol (EG). This process can handle contaminated plastics, including coloured, mixed, or labelled PET, without the need for pre-cleaning or sorting.
