Proprietary catalyst technology activated by visible light
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.
