Break it down.
Build the future.

We deliver a technology that revolutionizes today's PET recycling by being scalable, economically viable, and environmentally responsible.

Because our resources matterr

We are driving polyester beyond fossil fuels. By transforming packaging and textile waste into virgin-quality drop-in feedstocks, we enable high-performance materials to return to production continuously. Our depolymerisation technology combines proven recovery rates with scalable design — turning today’s waste into tomorrow’s resources. A new chapter of circular industry begins, ready to expand worldwide.

Technology that matterrs

We leverage the power of depolymerization to unlock the full value of PET waste. Our technology transforms complex, mixed PET waste streams—including polyester blended textiles and multilayer packaging—into high-quality raw materials, ready for reuse. By breaking PET down to its molecular building blocks, we regenerate virgin-quality, drop-in-ready materials and enable true circularity. We eliminate fossil dependency for PET and close the loop—for packaging, textiles, and the planet. That’s how we build the future—by breaking down the past.

Our Offering to You

Waste Management

We offer a solution for PET-rich waste streams that cannot be mechanically recycled—including complex packaging and textiles. With just 80% polyester content, we turn waste into valuable monomers instead of sending it to incineration. Let’s talk about your toughest waste streams—we’re ready to turn them into resources.

PET-Producers

matterr delivers monomers in virgin quality—seamlessly compatible with today’s PET production processes. No process changes. No compromises. With our high-purity recycled materials, you can produce circular PET on an industrial scale and future-proof your business for a low-carbon economy.

Textile Industry

We power truly sustainable supply chains—by turning PET waste into virgin-quality material. Our technology enables circularity even for complex, multi-material products, whether post-consumer or post-industrial. We want you to keep using polyester freely—blended, layered, or otherwise—without trade-offs in performance, design, or sustainability. This is circularity at scale.
