Recycling rPET & PU Waste – With Chemical Solutions from RAMPF

Using innovative chemical processes, RAMPF recycles the following residues to high-quality polyols:

• Post-consumer PET from beverage bottles, fabrics, and fibers
• PU foam scraps from used mattresses, carpet and flooring, furniture, car seats, motorcycle seats, insulation materials, fitness and leisure items

RAMPF recycled polyols are

• Manufactured via solvolysis (glycolysis, acidolysis, and aminolysis)
• Comparable with polyols typically obtained from virgin raw materials, both in terms of quality and technical properties
• Tailored precisely to the customer’s production set-up and can therefore be used directly in the production of new products

Bio-based polyols

RAMPF has also developed chemical processes that enable PET/PSA, other polyesters (PLA, PC, PHB), and renewable or bio-based raw materials such as vegetable oils to be used as sources of raw materials for the manufacture of bio-based recycled polyols.

The company also offers comprehensive advice in polyurethane recycling and developing customized polyols. The formulation of polyurethane systems using a RAMPF upcycled polyol and contract manufacturing of molded components are further offerings of the encompassing portfolio.

Multifunctional recycling plants

By combining its chemical know-how in conjunction with the expertise of its partners in industrial plant construction, RAMPF is very successful on the international markets with a unique product offering – the development of turnkey multi-functional recycling plants for its customers.

Using their own customized plants and polyurethane waste materials, PET, phthalic anhydride, and polyisocyanurate, companies manufacture their own high-quality recycled polyols on site and use these in their production process. In doing so, they cut costs and contribute to the protection of the environment.
