Depolymerization (Polyurethane Chemical Recycling)

Recycling with depolymerization. Transforming end-of-life waste streams to new raw materials with recycled content.

Enabling Polyurethane Circularity with Renuva™ Recycled Content

Depolymerization recycling for polyurethanes is the only closed-loop recycling technology for end-of-life polyurethane waste; it enables PU circularity and helps advance innovation in different technologies, applications, and waste types.

RENUVA™ FF 60 Polyol

Re-polyol with Renuva™ recycled content obtained from end-of-life PU waste enables circularity and lower carbon footprint to flexible foam.

Depolymerization technology from Renuva™ advances a circular economy

Through depolymerization recycling for Polyurethanes, we:

Convert waste streams into new raw materials

Ensure end-of-life material is not lost to landfill or incineration.

Reduce the use of fossil feedstocks

Turning PU back into new raw materials to be used as building blocks for new products.

Help the industry meet recycled content targets

Dow is the first materials solution provider to offer PU depolymerization at industrial scale.

Advance a circular economy

Transform end-of-life polyurethane foam mattresses into valuable raw materials, reducing CO2 emissions by 54% and enabling up to 30% replacement in foam formulations.
