Member - Gr3n SA
An innovative process that provides an economically viable solution for recycling Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET).
About
gr3n SA is a Swiss company established in 2013. The company developed an innovative process, based on a new application of microwave technology to provide an efficient chemical recycling process of PET and polyester textile allowing an industrial implementation of this recycling method. The robustness of the whole process allows the treatment of highly contaminated materials by upcycling PET recycling. The recycling process of gr3n produces the same monomers used for the conventional synthesis of PET exploiting a full integration with the existing value chain of PET. The process is economically competitive with oil-based production of PET but creates a huge benefit for the environment.
