Presentation topic:

SolvoGenesis    - Chemical PET recycling without breakdown to monomers

Abstract

MacroCycle believes that chemistry holds the key to enabling fully circular plastics, made without carbon emissions. We want to protect our world through our circular, sustainable, zero-carbon upcycling process.

With the globe’s leading experts in ring-chain chemistry and MIT engineers on our team, our patented technology takes plastic and polyester waste to produce virgin-grade MacroCycle PET or polyester resins, specially crafted to fit your needs and products.

Our MacroCycle PET and polyester resins can meet your sustainability goals including satisfaction of PCR Regulations, elimination of landfill and ocean-bound plastics, lowered Scope 3 emissions, and no green premium.
