Part of Physically Reprocessed PlasticsEC 607-507-1
Also known as polyethylene terephthalate and PETE.
chemXplore tracks 35 projects involving PET, of which 14 are active.
32 produce it and 6 use it as feedstock.
Of the active ones, 12 new construction and 1 expansion.
5 active projects carry no start-up date yet. The dates themselves, per project, are for subscribers.
Glassfiber-reinforced PBT/PET compounds with up to 30% post-consumer recycled PET for structural automotive parts, supporting Scope 3.1 reductions and regulatory targets.
Plant-derived isosorbide plastic blended with other transparent resins achieves pearlescent, seashell-like compact cases with retained durability and weather resistance.
Project will valorise PET recycling side streams to create marketable outputs and improve resource efficiency of matterr’s chemical recycling process.
Oxidation unit commissioned; full start-up and first FDCA production targeted end‑2026; 22 offtakes and >150 kt reservations secured; pursuing €55m equity plus a €20m NOM loan.
Reinforces integrated petrochemical core, starts ethane imports in 2029, shifts toward higher‑value Specialty and Green & Bio, and expands Map Ta Phut as a regional hub.
Resin-film substrate for anode current collectors matches copper performance, cuts collector weight 50–60%, reduces cell weight ≈10%, produced at 4.5 µm and sampled to customers.
EPA leaders toured a methanolysis unit that processes >250 million lb/yr of polyester waste and reports 20–30% lower GHGs versus fossil-based plastic production.
Evaluating up to 50% stake in Zhoushan advanced-materials project; PDA sets framework toward a potential FID and joint development.
New Monthey depolymerization plant converts PET and polyester textiles back into virgin-quality monomers for hard-to-recycle streams.
Exclusive talks aim to industrialize 5‑HMF, a bio‑based platform for resins, polymers and PEF; first ~3,000 t/yr plant scheduled to start up early 2027.
