Loop’s Generation II technology is importantly more well organised and productive than the Generation I process, including a considerable reduction in energy use and the complete elimination of water indicating that it may be the most resource efficient process for upcycling PET and polyester fiber in the world.
The most remarkable change introduced in the Generation II technology is Loop’s decision to produce a monomer from which it makes Loop™ PET resin and polyester fiber from terephthalic acid (PTA) to dimethyl terephthalate (DMT).
