RPU Depolymerization
Technology

We specialize in polyurethane depolymerization using a low-temperature catalytic process (glycolysis).
This technology allows for the efficient production of high-purity monomers and building blocks with low-cost catalysts,
all within a short reaction time of 1 to 3 hours, ensuring both cost-effectiveness and sustainability.

RPU Material Separation
Technology

Our technology uses a low-cost organic solvent to selectively dissolve polyurethane (PU) and nylon, while polyester remains solid.
High-purity nylon crystals are obtained through recrystallization,
enabling efficient recycling of synthetic fibers and composites in an eco-friendly and cost-effective way.

Inexpensive organic solvent is utilized to adjust the solubility of the polymers in textile blends, mixed plastic wastes

PU and nylon are completely dissolved in the liquid solution, while polyester remains as a solid

Pure nylon granules are obtained by recrystallization
