Company Profile

Our product is high-purity raw materials of PET, derived from chemical recycling of PET waste which was hard to recycle. Through our proprietary depolymerization process, we break down PET plastic into its raw materials: TPA (terephthalic acid) and EG (ethylene glycol). TPA, often referred to as the 'father of plastic,' is used in a wide range of industrial products, including Food & Beverage, Electronics, Displays, Paints, and Textiles. We provide these Cr(Chemically recycled)-TPA and Cr-EG to plastic manufacturers with the scale.

Company Competitiveness

Superior Recycled Material Quality

Terracle guarantees consistently high material quality. We maintain an unwavering 99% high purity in our final recycled materials, a level of consistency that ensures performance identical to virgin feedstock and is sustained regardless of the complexity or condition of the incoming waste stream.

Broadest Recycling Scope

Our proprietary solvent-free, low-temperature depolymerization technology enables us to process materials far beyond the limitations of conventional recycling methods. We are uniquely capable of handling historically challenging waste, including complex, colored, multi-material fibers, and films.

Proven Commercial Scalability

We have transcended the limitations of laboratory- or pilot-scale operations common among competitors. Terracle is the sole entity to have successfully implemented a ton-scale, continuous depolymerization process for TPA production, confirming our readiness for mass commercial supply and market leadership.

Key Product

Cr-TPA is a high-purity recycled TPA produced through Depolymerization technology that breaks down various waste plastics such as waste textiles, post-consumer PET, and industrial PET scrap. Because the process restores materials to their original chemical structure—regardless of feedstock quality—Cr-TPA achieves quality equivalent to virgin TPA.
