Our ambitious and dedicated team is made up of people challenging the status quo and striving for excellence, with a shared passion for making an impact!
Overview
DePoly is a chemical recycling company that converts post-consumer PET plastic and polyester textiles back into their main raw components at room temperature, without the need to pre-wash, pre-sort, or separate out other plastics. The raw material can then be sold back to the industry so that new virgin-quality plastic items can be made, creating a truly circular plastic economy.
