PolyReVolve™ Low-risk profitable path to recycled content for existing polyester producers
——Shi Jingyi, from Koch Technologies

Ms. Shi noted that while the recycled polyester market is currently experiencing robust growth and strong momentum, it also faces significant short-term volatility. Producers therefore need both near-term certainty and long-term optionality. PolyRevolve™ enables the upgrade and conversion of existing continuous polymerization (CP) plants, extending the competitive lifespan of facilities while enhancing product diversity and production flexibility.
PolyRevolve™ demonstrates solid economic viability, with typical installations in China projected to deliver attractive returns on investment. Compared with mechanical recycling routes, it requires lower capital expenditure while offering higher potential returns. Built upon KTS's 50-year validated CP technology platform, PolyRevolve™ is specifically designed for retrofit applications, providing existing polyester producers with the lowest-risk pathway to enter recycled PET (rPET)
