Today Selenis takes an important step in the acceleration of a circular economy, as they scale-up their production of PETG resins with incorporated recycled content to full production volumes. As of October, 2019 Selenis commercialized their innovative ECO Series – supplying a sustainable version of all of their product portfolio: all products can be produced with up to 50% post-consumer recycled content.
Selenis contributes to solving the world’s problem of plastic waste, by taking what would otherwise be discarded and turning it into the building-blocks of their products, used in a variety of applications, such as packaging, cosmetics, personal care, durable goods, and heat shrink sleeves.
The Selenis process recovers monomers through molecular recycling. Glycolysis is used to break-up PET waste and reduce it to its polymer building blocks – called monomers. Next, they are reintroduced to the value chain as recycled polyester raw materials. What is unique about Selenis breaking-through technology is that they combine the recycled PET with virgin raw material at specific dosages, according to production throughput and desired percentage of recycled content, resulting in the production of new polyesters with high levels of PCR.
Prior to polycondensation, the co-monomers are subjected to a fine filtration process to remove impurities. During polycondensation the final IV and properties are obtained, according to product specifications and application requirements.
Selenis is using this technology at both their plants located in Portugal and Italy. This was made possible developing ECO products with several customers, proving its efficiency and performance. Their goal is to enable this process in all of their product lines as they foresee significant global demand as brand owners are increasingly committing to a closed loop economy supply.
Selenis is a supplier of high quality and innovative specialty polyester solutions for diverse applications. Their mission relies on employing their profound knowledge of polymers, formulations, and processing, in partnership with their clients to develop future-fit solutions and commit to create opportunities. Selenis is a global business with production sites in Portugal, Italy and the USA. Their production facilities have batch and continuous SSP units, permitting the production of a wide range of polymers to meet highly technical markets. Their production configurations provides Selenis the flexibility to produce both amorphous and crystallised products.
Committed to playing a role in society’s collective response to the plastic waste challenge, Selenis creates partnerships across the value chain to create long term solutions. Highly focused on sustainability, Selenis centers their innovation in developing resins with up to 50% recycled content and solutions that are fully recyclable in the PET stream. Their progress in molecular recycling turns waste into the building blocks of their specialty resins, contributing to the fight against climate change. Selenis and their sister company, Evertis, are members of the IMG group, an international business headquartered in Portugal with operations around the world. Our businesses have been pioneers in the polyester industry since 1959.

The Selenis process recovers monomers through molecular recycling. Glycolysis is used to break-up PET waste and reduce it to its polymer building blocks – called monomers. Next, they are reintroduced to the value chain as recycled polyester raw materials. What is unique about Selenis breaking-through technology is that they combine the recycled PET with virgin raw material at specific dosages, according to production throughput and desired percentage of recycled content, resulting in the production of new polyesters with high levels of PCR.
Prior to polycondensation, the co-monomers are subjected to a fine filtration process to remove impurities. During polycondensation the final IV and properties are obtained, according to product specifications and application requirements.
Selenis is using this technology at both their plants located in Portugal and Italy. This was made possible developing ECO products with several customers, proving its efficiency and performance. Their goal is to enable this process in all of their product lines as they foresee significant global demand as brand owners are increasingly committing to a closed loop economy supply.
Selenis is a supplier of high quality and innovative specialty polyester solutions for diverse applications. Their mission relies on employing their profound knowledge of polymers, formulations, and processing, in partnership with their clients to develop future-fit solutions and commit to create opportunities. Selenis is a global business with production sites in Portugal, Italy and the USA. Their production facilities have batch and continuous SSP units, permitting the production of a wide range of polymers to meet highly technical markets. Their production configurations provides Selenis the flexibility to produce both amorphous and crystallised products.
Committed to playing a role in society’s collective response to the plastic waste challenge, Selenis creates partnerships across the value chain to create long term solutions. Highly focused on sustainability, Selenis centers their innovation in developing resins with up to 50% recycled content and solutions that are fully recyclable in the PET stream. Their progress in molecular recycling turns waste into the building blocks of their specialty resins, contributing to the fight against climate change. Selenis and their sister company, Evertis, are members of the IMG group, an international business headquartered in Portugal with operations around the world. Our businesses have been pioneers in the polyester industry since 1959.
Today Selenis takes an important step in the acceleration of a circular economy, as they scale-up their production of PETG resins with incorporated recycled content to full production volumes. As of October, 2019 Selenis commercialized their innovative ECO Series – supplying a sustainable version of all of their product portfolio: all products can be produced with up to 50% post-consumer recycled content.
Selenis contributes to solving the world’s problem of plastic waste, by taking what would otherwise be discarded and turning it into the building-blocks of their products, used in a variety of applications, such as packaging, cosmetics, personal care, durable goods, and heat shrink sleeves.

The UPM life cycle assessment was carried out in accordance with ISO 14040 and based on cradle-to-gate systemboundary. As the biorefinery is currently in the process of being built, the LCA will be gradually updated with primary data.The study has been critically reviewed by an independent third party according to ISO 14044.
