Our Movement

The matterr movement isn't just about ending fossil fuel-based polyester – it's about unlocking its true potential. Our cutting-edge depolymerization process will revolutionize the industry by 2040, preventing irreversible damage from crude oil-based polyester. We envision a world where everyone in the world uses recycled polyester only – forever.

Sustainability: 
Coming full circle.

Polyester's story doesn't have to end in waste. Our revolutionary technology gives polyester a second life. We transform non-recyclable polyester waste back into valuable raw materials for new, high-quality polyester. This innovative process closes the loop, minimizing environmental impact and maximizing resource potential.

Profitability: New technologies pave the way.

The future of production is sustainable and profitable. Our revolutionary back-to-monomer recycling technology unlocks a win-win scenario. It reduces costs and boosts efficiency with every cycle, making recycling the clear economic and environmental choice. This technology recovers high-quality materials from polyester waste, paving the way for a future where the new production from fossil raw materials becomes a thing of the past.

Network: Stronger together.

We believe the path to a sustainable future is paved with collaboration. Transforming the entire value chain to embrace sustainable practices requires collective will – but the rewards are limitless. Together, we can build a powerful network that accelerates this transition. Join the movement!

Our Technology partners

The need for change is undeniable. But true progress comes from collective action. We believe powerful partnerships unlock groundbreaking solutions. Our technology partners are more than just collaborators – they're changemakers who leverage their strengths to accelerate the transition to a sustainable future.

Ebner GmbH & Co. KG

Ebner GmbH & Co. KG, a leader in the field of thermal separation technology, is a key partner for the scaling and realisation of our industrial recycling plants.

Institute for Chemical and Thermal Process Engineering (ICTV), TU Braunschweig

The ICTV represents the field of chemical and thermal process engineering in teaching, research and professional training. In terms of education, the ICTV offers basic and application-specific courses in the field of fluid, chemical and thermal process engineering. Research activities are divided into the working groups: sustainable production technologies; innovative equipment and systems engineering; fouling and cleaning; biotechnological and pharmaceutical methods; pharmaceutical/chemical reaction techniques. In these groups, problems of basic engineering research as well as application-oriented aspects are addressed.

Leistritz Extrusionstechnik GmbH

Distinctive machine and process engineering knowledge, new technologies and a consistent focus on quality account for the success of Leistritz Extrusionstechnik GmbH. For more than 80 years, the company has been designing, constructing and manufacturing individually co-rotating twin-screw extruders and turnkey extrusion systems for the plastics industry and the life science sector, including pharmaceutical applications. Leistritz will use its know-how to support the development of a sensor-based monitoring for the depolymerization as well as the scaling of the extrusion process.

Nikotec GmbH

revolTEX technologies are crucial for success. Nikotec, our central engineering partner, plays an indispensable role here. By working with Nikotec, we can efficiently and precisely drive forward the planning and scaling of our industrial systems.Nikotec supports us not only in the design and engineering, but also in the operational realisation of these plants. Their expertise and experience are essential for the realisation of our first industrial plants, which are a key component of our strategic expansion. Nikotec's involvement will ensure that each plant is optimally designed to meet the demands of modern recycling and provide effective, sustainable solutions for polyester recycling.
