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
M. Brons - March 2015
Production facility
Cumapol took over the former Akzo/Wellman PET production plant in Emmen, the Netherlands in 2010.
M. Brons - March 2015
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%
M. Brons - March 2015
EFSA positive scientific opinion
In 2013 Cumapol received the positive scientific opinion of EFSA for the Bottle-to-bottle process.
M. Brons - March 2015
Extrusion & compounding
In 2013 Cumapol invested in extrusion capacity and
started the production of mechanically recycled PET.
Capacity: max. 48 tons/day

The ultimate goal
To demonstrate the transition of
Linear PET production facility to
Circular PET production facility
M. Brons - March 2015
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

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
