Introduction

Marco Brons

10 years Akzo Nobel

10 years Wellman PET Resins

Introduction EcoClear, bottle-to-bottle rPET in 1997

Cumapol is founded in 2007

Production facility

Cumapol took over the former Akzo/Wellman PET production plant in Emmen, the Netherlands in 2010.

Solid State Polymerization

Toll conversion with the Continuous Solid State Polymerizationunits for the polyester industry.

2 Continuous Lines with a capacity of 75 tons/day each

Batch size > 100 ton

Off spec < 1%

EFSA positive scientific opinion

In 2013 Cumapol received the positive scientific opinion of EFSA for the Bottle-to-bottle process.

Extrusion & compounding

In 2013 Cumapol invested in extrusion capacity and

started the production of mechanically recycled PET.

Capacity: max. 48 tons/day

Owners/Partners

United Polymer Trading (UPT)

DuFor Resins

Products

Bottle to Bottle, high clarity, IV 0.80

Bottle to strapping, green, IV 0.95

Custom Made Polyesters

Why doing business with Cumapol?

Virgin quality standard background

Very robust cleaning efficiency

One of the highest line capacities (30kton/year) in Europe for rPET

Fully automated processes

Custom made polyesters

The ultimate goal

To demonstrate the transition of

Linear PET production facility to

Circular PET production facility

Transition – step 1

Market trend:

Increase of collecting rate of good quality PET

Cumapol’s solution:

Increase of extrusion capacity to balance extrusion and SSP capacity at

30.000 ton/year

Mechanical Recycling

PTA/MEGBTX PET

Chemical recycling process

Glycolysis in existing esterification reactor of first line

Purification:

Filtration at < 20 micron

Color removal

Polymerization in second, revamped line

Planning: operational in 2017 at 25 kton/year

Chemical recycling

Market trend:

The need to create circular economy

The need to prevent usage of fossil sources

Cooperation with bioBTX to develop 100% biobased PET from biomass

100% Biobased PET process – BioPET100

Corporation between bioBTX and Cumapol

Patented process for the catalyzed pyrolysis of biomass (e.g. wood) generating a mixture of Benzene, Toluene and Xylenes (BTX).

Separation and purification of pX and conversion to bioPTA

Conversion of bioPTA with bioMEG to BioPET100

First grams BioPET100 are produced!

Planning: pilot plant being operational in 2016

Chemical recycling
