Recycled Dimethyl terephthalate, or r-DMT.<\/a>. Originally developed by our production partner in China for the production of recycled PET and polyester yarn, this product is an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional DMT and PTA (purified terephthalic acid). Since early 2024, MCC has been working with the producer to introduce r-DMT as a raw material to the European market. The first containers have already been delivered to long-term customers and our warehouse in Hamburg. With r-DMT, we are consciously focusing on a sustainable solution that promotes the circular economy and helps conserve resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSustainability through recycling: The production process of r-DMT<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
The production process of recycled DMT is based on recovering valuable raw materials from used clothing and textile waste. Textiles made from polyester\u2014a commonly used material in the fashion industry\u2014serve as the primary input. These textiles are collected, sorted, and cleaned before undergoing a unique patented depolymerization process to recover DMT as a base material. The recycled raw material is then processed and provided in high-purity quality for industrial applications.\nThis process conserves natural resources by reducing dependence on fossil materials and helps address the global waste problem by reintegrating used textiles into the value chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Diverse applications for r-DMT<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Our recycled Dimethyl terephthalate offers versatile applications for our customers. It is particularly suitable for producing recycled polyester, which plays a significant role in the textile and packaging industries. Additionally, r-DMT is used in the paper industry\u2014for instance, as a binder for paper coatings\u2014and serves as a valuable raw material in the production of engineering plastics utilized in the automotive and electronics sectors.
By incorporating r-DMT, companies can reduce their carbon footprint while maintaining high standards of product quality and performance. Together with our customers, we are shaping a more environmentally friendly future and supporting them in achieving their sustainability goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our commitment to a sustainable future<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
We firmly believe that r-DMT provides our customers with an attractive and sustainable alternative, and that this product innovation is a significant milestone on our journey towards a greener chemical industry. Our partnership with our producer enables us to offer a product that combines quality with responsibility.
As MCC, we support our customers in integrating r-DMT into their production processes and provide comprehensive guidance to ensure the efficient and sustainable use of recycled raw materials. With the introduction of r-DMT, we reaffirm our commitment to environmental protection and the promotion of sustainable industries.
We look forward to collaborating with our customers to create a more sustainable future for chemistry and to making a meaningful contribution to the circular economy through innovative products like r-DMT.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
