ROPET

Commercialization of the synthesis of rapeseed oil and recycled polyethylene terephthalate polyols (ROPET)

Project goal

Stage 1: to develop a technical economic feasibility study and a commercialization strategy for the development of the technology of the synthesis of biopolyols from recycled polyethylene terephthalate and rapeseed oil to TRL6 at LSIWC, and commercialization of the technology.

Stage 2: to commercialize the technology of the synthesis of biopolyols from recycled polyethylene terephthalate and rapeseed oil.

Main activities of the project:

Stage 1:

  • Technical economic feasibility study and development of the commercialization strategy.

Stage 2:

  • Development of the technology to reduce/eliminate the identified challenges and improve the product’s characteristics for market needs.
