Proprietary catalyst technology activated by visible light

Magic is just technology
We haven’t understood yet.
The magic begins now.
RECYCLABLE WASTE
Terracle processes mixed, colored, and contaminated plastics once considered unrecyclable, along with PET-based apparel, blended textiles, films, and other polyester waste, by feeding them into the depolymerization process without complex pretreatment.
What is Depolymerization?
Chemical recycling requires different approaches depending on the type and properties of the plastic.
Terracle operates depolymerization technologies for plastics produced through condensation polymerization, including PET, nylon, and polyurethane.
This is the stage in which post-use PET remains in its polymer structure.
It is the starting structure before depolymerization, with long-chain molecular bonds.
PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY
Terracle has researched and developed a range of hydrolysis-based depolymerization technologies. Its sixth-generation technology, Terra-X™, uses the visible-light catalyst Black TiO₂-Xto induce radical reactions under low-temperature, atmospheric-pressure conditions and improve decomposition efficiency.

PRODUCT
We convert waste into high-purity recycled feedstocks suitable for PET production.
Cr-TPA
Chemical recycled Terephthalic acid
Cr-TPA is a drop-in recycled feedstock that can be introduced directly into existing facilities and processes without equipment modifications or additional additives. It can be used across PET applications including bottles, fibers, and films, with reliable ton-scale supply.

Cr-MEG
Chemical recycled Ethylene glycol
Cr-MEG is a drop-in recycled feedstock that can be introduced directly into existing facilities and processes without equipment modifications or additional additives. It can be used across a wide range of PET production processes, including bottles, fibers, and films, with reliable ton-scale supply.

PRODUCT APPLICATIONS
Terracle's recycled monomers can be applied to a wide range of polyester products, including bottles and packaging, fibers and apparel, films, and industrial materials. They enable a closed loop in which waste is returned to raw materials and remade into products instead of being landfilled or incinerated.
Terracle turns sustainability from a promise into a practical industrial strategy.

Before the magic
Recylable Waste
Terracle recycles polyester-based wastes—from colored/composite plastics, textiles, blends, and films to ocean-bound and marine debris—with optional end-to-end processing, and customers can select the specific waste streams they wish to process.
NO SORTING.
NO WASHING.
NO DRYING
JUST SHRED.
Technology
Terra-X
Depolymerization
When light meets nanotechnology, plastic breaks apart. Black TiO₂ absorbs sunlight and triggers powerful radical reactions on its own, generating active species that invisibly cleave plastic bonds.
Terracle’s depolymerization technology harnesses this process to fundamentally recycle plastic waste.
Depolymerization breaks plastic polymers back down into their original monomers, enabling recycling at the molecular level.
Terracle’s Terra-X depolymerization uses a visible-light photocatalyst and operates solvent-free at low temperatures and atmospheric pressure, achieving high efficiency while reducing energy use and minimizing environmental impact.
Our advanced process converts even low-grade, colored, and contaminated composite PET waste into high-purity Cr-TPA and Cr-EG.
