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:
Ensure end-of-life material is not lost to landfill or incineration.
Turning PU back into new raw materials to be used as building blocks for new products.
Dow is the first materials solution provider to offer PU depolymerization at industrial scale.
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.
The Mattress Recycling Program from Renuva™
Through the Recycling Program from Renuva™, we are recycling polyurethane foam from end-of-life mattresses and turning it into RENUVA™ polyols for use in new mattresses and other applications.
A value chain collaboration for circular eco-systems
The Mattress Recycling Program from Renuva™ brings together every touch point in the value chain to create a new eco-system. Recycling experts, chemical innovators, and leading foam manufacturers are helping us to advance a circular future for mattresses.
