Cumapol Polyester Upgrading

Cumapol offers different services to the polyester industry: Regranulation, Compounding, Crystallization and Solid State Polymerization. We can process both virgin as well as recycled polyesters. Pioneer in the development of recycled polyester specialities We recycle 2 million PET bottles a day into valuable, food contact approved polyester grades (rPET). These grades can be further upgraded to meet the different requirements of our customers. Currently, 60% of our capacity is occupied with the upgrading of recycled PET and 40% with virgin polyester specialties. Cumapol provides recycling solutions for post-consumer and post-industrial polyesters. These recycled polyesters can have the same or better quality, functionality and feel as virgin polyester. We are continuously expanding and improving our processes and know-how based on mechanical recycling. With the start of our chemical recycling project and the ability to use bio-based monomers Cumapol is on route to the next level in circularity. Typical applications for the polyester grades from our plant are rigid and flexible packaging, strapping, monofilaments, high tenacity yarns, fibers and other high demanding technical applications. All of our processes are designed to offer the highest standards in terms of quality and efficiency and fulfill all of the relevant health, safety and food contact regulations.
