Revalyu Recycling

What Revalyu Recycling does

Revalyu Recycling operates a chemical PET recycling business that depolymerizes post-consumer PET bottles into monomers via a proprietary glycolysis process operating at lower temperature and atmospheric pressure without a catalyst. The company is headquartered operationally in Nashik, Maharashtra, India (Revalyu Recycling (India) Limited, formerly Polygenta Technologies Ltd.), with a German parent (revalyu Resources GmbH, formerly perPETual Technologies) majority-owned by Heraeus Group following a 2022 transaction. Revalyu sells three core products — r-PET chips (textile and packaging grades, 0.50–0.67 IV), Draw Textured Yarn (DTY, 50–600 denier, 36–288 filaments), and Fully Drawn Yarn (FDY, 30–100 denier) — to enterprise textile and fashion customers, with more than 30 named global brands including Adidas, Zara, H&M, Uniqlo, Puma, Decathlon, The North Face, Target, Walmart, and Reebok. Current Nashik capacity is 15,000 MT per annum of chips and yarn from ~1 billion recycled PET bottles per year, with an expansion to 95,000 MT/yr underway; a $200M+ U.S. facility in Statesboro, Georgia is under construction with completion targeted Q3 2025.

The business model is direct enterprise B2B field sales of bulk specialty materials at quote-based pricing, with approximately 50% of production exported to 25+ countries. Revenue streams are one-time product sales of r-PET chips, DTY, and FDY, with no recurring software or licensing component. The company holds GRS, OEKO-TEX Standard 100, ISO, and SBTi 1.5°C-aligned certifications, which are de facto procurement requirements for major apparel and packaged-goods buyers. Revalyu's stated sustainability claims include >60% CO2 reduction, >90% energy reduction, >75% water reduction versus conventional petrochemical PET, and zero liquid effluent discharge. The company is pursuing geographic expansion (India scale-up and U.S. entry), product extension into high-viscosity chips (0.78–1.10 IV), and is backed by Heraeus Group with development-finance debt from DEG and IFU supporting the capital program.

Core offering

Revalyu Recycling chemically recycles post-consumer PET bottles through a proprietary glycolysis depolymerization process to produce 100% recycled PET (rPET) chips (textile and packaging grades, viscosity 0.50-0.67 IV) and filament yarns (Draw Textured Yarn and Fully Drawn Yarn). These products serve as virgin-equivalent drop-in replacements for oil-based polyester, enabling textile, apparel, sportswear, and packaging customers to meet sustainability goals without compromising product quality. The company currently processes more than 1 billion PET bottles per year and is expanding toward 6 billion+ bottles annually.

Product overview

Revalyu Recycling operates as a chemical PET recycling company that transforms post-consumer PET bottles into sustainable raw materials through a proprietary glycolysis depolymerization process. The company offers a portfolio of three main products: r-PET Chips (semi-dull and bright grades) as intermediate materials, Draw Textured Yarn (DTY) for high-end textile applications, and Fully Drawn Yarn (FDY) for various fabric production. These products serve as direct replacements for conventional oil-derived polyester, enabling textile and packaging industries to meet sustainability goals without compromising quality.
