Business InformationTerraBlock is a waste plastic recycling company that chemically recycles (depolymerization technology) disposable coffee cups, low-grade waste plastics, and polyester, including PET, the largest source of waste plastics, regardless of color, to produce high-purity recycled TPA (terephthalic acid) and EG (ethylene glycol).
We are the first company in Korea to produce recycled TPA and are on the verge of becoming the first company in the world to mass-produce recycled TPA. Our vision is to allow the infinite use of plastic, the most convenient material created by mankind, without polluting the environment, and we are working to become the world's best environmental company.
TechnologyThe need for Terrablock’s Depolymerization technology
Depolymerization technology is necessary because plastics and fibers such as PET and PU, which are produced by condensation or addition reactions, cannot recover their monomers by pyrolysis, which is technically the only way to realize true resource circulation.
The process uses only temperatures below 100 degrees Celsius throughout the process and is both environmentally and economically friendly, with no harmful substances used and no emissions due to the reuse of solvents, catalysts, short reaction times of less than 4 hours, and the use of normal pressure.
