DePoly — DePoly is a spin off out of the LSMO lab at EPFL- Valais that has developed a novel technology allowing for the chemical recycling of PET plastic back to its main two components ethylene glycol (EG) and terephthalic acid (TPA). Our approach turns low valued materials (PET waste) into high-valued chemicals like TPA creating a circular economy. Weexpect this process to generate revenue from chemically recycling PET to TPA/EG, which can be sold back to industry to make new virgin PET plastic and allowing for a sustainable source of TPA and EG on the market.
UniSieve — UniSieve is a cleantech company that provides molecular separation membrane solutions for a wide range of applications. Its platform technology enables a unique combination of various molecular sieves and polymeric membranes, yielding reliable separation solutions. The company was founded in 2018 and is headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland.
