Recycling plant operators
An industrial opportunity for plant operators
PETER: a turnkey solution
In today’s landscape of plastic and textile waste management, recycling plant operators face a crucial challenge: adapting to evolving regulations and technologies while meeting the growing demand for advanced recycling and the need to recover high-purity materials even from complex waste streams.
In this scenario, chemical recycling of polyester represents a concrete opportunity to diversify and enhance plant offerings, improving the environmental and economic performance of production sites.
PETER, developed in-house and available under a full licensing model, enables the depolymerization of PET contained in textile waste and packaging, producing purified monomers ready for repolymerization. Unlike mechanical recycling, which suffers from raw material quality limitations, PETER allows the processing of mixed, colored, or contaminated materials, expanding the available input streams and optimizing yield.
For plant operators, adopting PETER means relying on a turnkey solution with continuous technical support, dedicated engineering packages, and assistance throughout every phase—from feasibility study to plant start-up. Thanks to the modularity of the technology platform, scalable plants can be implemented, adaptable to different processing volumes, optimizing investment and maximizing productivity.
Integration into industrial workflows
Integrating chemical recycling into existing industrial flows increases plant competitiveness by generating high-value outputs and reducing dependence on conventional feedstocks. Furthermore, the production of purified monomers complies with European regulations on effective recycling, making this approach strategically important from both regulatory and reputational perspectives.
We collaborate with qualified EPC partners, ensuring effective and rapid plant implementation, even in brownfield contexts. This approach reduces start-up times and guarantees efficient project management.
For recycling plant operators, now more than ever is the time to innovate. Choosing PETER means enabling a new generation of plants capable of meeting the challenges of the ecological transition, anticipating the demand for high-quality recycled PET, and positioning themselves as key players in the circular economy value chain.
