This new investment of around 9 million will enable the Valais-based company, voted Switzerland&#8217;s most promising start-up last year, to continue its expansion in the field of plastic recycling, and PET in particular.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The expansion of its investor base positions DePoly as one of Europe&#8217;s leading recycling technology companies, with over $30 million raised in two rounds of financing and grants. MassMutual Ventures joins existing investors including Founderful, ACE &amp; Company, Angel Invest, Z\u00fcrcher Kantonalbank, BASF Venture Capital, Beiersdorf Venture Capital and Syensqo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>500 tonnes a year processed in Monthey<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every year, millions of tonnes of PET and polyester waste end up in landfill or are incinerated, while sustainable recycling solutions remain limited. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.depoly.co\/\"><strong>DePoly<\/strong><\/a>, a leader in the sustainable recycling of PET as a raw material, will inaugurate a demonstration plant with a capacity of 500 tonnes per year in Monthey. This marks a decisive turning point in the company&#8217;s journey from laboratory breakthrough to industrial-scale implementation<br><br>&#8220;The future Monthey demonstration plant validates our roadmap for creating a truly circular plastics market. After our pilot plant and demonstration plant, our next goal is to go industrial scale with a one-of-a-kind commercial plant based on our technology,&#8221; says DePoly co-founder Samantha Anderson. &#8220;DePoly&#8217;s proven technology is a game-changer in addressing a crucial industrial and societal challenge. This round of financing and the opening of the demonstration plant reinforce DePoly&#8217;s position as a leader in plastics recycling&#8221;, said Alix Brunet, Head of Europe at MassMutual Ventures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Source : Press release &amp; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.citybiz.co\/\">Citybiz<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DePoly, based on the Energypolis Campus in Valais and supported by CleantechAlps since its inception, has secured a total of $23 million in initial financing.
