PET Chemical Recycling Line
Breaks PET down at molecular level and rebuilds it to virgin-equivalent quality.
PET Chemical Recycling Line
Technical specifications
Sustainability impact
Equipment engineered for long-lasting operation and built from recyclable materials, in line with the principles of the circular economy.
Key features
Virgin-equivalent PET quality
Molecular reconstruction delivers material suitable for premium applications.
Depolymerization and glycolysis
PET is broken down into BHET and contaminants are removed at low viscosity.
Scalable capacity
Lines rated at 1–4 t/h can be combined for total capacity up to 8 t/h.

If you want to obtain PET with a quality equal to that of virgin material, no matter how degraded the incoming waste is, a chemical PET recycling technology breaks the polymer down at the molecular level and rebuilds it. The process takes PET bottle flakes, depolymerizes them through glycolysis, and, through esterification and polycondensation, delivers PET equivalent to virgin, suitable for sheet, fiber, or pellets. Unlike mechanical recycling, a chemical PET recycling line is not limited by the drop in viscosity and the impurities of the recycled material: depolymerization brings the PET back to its basic building blocks, and the…
