At MacroCycle, we revive end-of-life plastics. We will protect the world through our circular, zero-carbon, upcycling process.

Mission

MacroCycle believes that chemistry holds the key to enabling fully circular plastics, made without carbon emissions. We want to protect our world through our circular, sustainable, zero-carbon upcycling process.

With the globe’s leading experts in ring-chain chemistry on our team, our patented technology takes plastic and polyester waste to produce virgin-grade MacroCycle PET or polyester resins, specially crafted to fit your needs and products.

Products

Plastics are very useful materials, but their initial value to society becomes a massive burden at their end-of-life.

Our MacroCycle PET and polyester resins can meet your sustainability goals including satisfaction of PCR Regulations, elimination of landfill and ocean-bound plastics, lowered Scope 3 emissions, and no green premium.

Technology

Our proprietary process based on the synthesis of cyclic macromolecules (macrocycles) enables us to recycle PET or polyester from plastic and polyester waste at 80% lower energy use than traditional processes.

This enables our technology to provide a drop-in solution without a required green premium, and much lower carbon emissions.

The Plastic Problem

5M+

metric tons of plastic enter our waters per year, even when it is “recycled”.

5%

of global CO2 emissions are associated with the plastics industry.

That is more than all of Japan’s emissions, the 5th largest CO2 emitter in the world. 23

85%

of plastic produced today, even when “recycled” ends up in our landfills, in our oceans, or it gets incinerated.
