Polygenta focuses on four products: high quality textile DTY, POY and chips and the sale of recycled ester to 3rd party polyester plants.  In essence, ReNEW applies sophisticated chemical processes and controls – comparable to those used in high-end refining to generate high-purity feedstocks PTA and MEG – to an environmentally preferred feedstock (i.e. polyester PET bottles saved from landfills rather than crude oil, with its higher environmental impact).

Polygenta provides a full range of quality recycled filament yarn available in the range of 50-300 denier for a wide range of applications including Sports Apparel, Casual Fashion, Outdoor Wear, Polar Fleece,  Backpacks and Soft Luggage, Home furnishings, and  Automotive. Polygenta also supplies high performance textile grade chips and POY to supply chain partners for specialty products and applications.

Polygenta started as a texturizing company and took steps to adopt a novel technology in production of Polyester Yarn. Under the leadership of Dr. Gerard de Nazelle, CEO-PTL and of an experienced team who worked meticulously to build, start-up, and operate in Nasik, the recycled polyester manufacturing unit with a breakthrough technology.

Polygenta Technologies Limited is a BSE listed company. Polygenta is financially-backed by the  Aloe Group, a global leader in sustainability investments (also backed by the IFC – the World Bank’s International  Finance Corporation, Swedfund, Finnfund, and France’s Proparco).  Other investors include Oman Oil Corporation (i.e. Government of Sultanate of Oman), FNI (a German Family Office) and Ventureast (Indian Venture Fund).

The Promoter of the company viz. PerPETual Global Technologies Limited (‘PGTL’) – a Mauritius based company, that owns the commercial patented process “ReNEW” was originally founded by Aloe Private Equity for purpose of investing in Polygenta”.

PTL is also IMS (ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001), OEKO-Tex Standard 100 (Class II) and GRS (Global Recycling Standard) certified.

At PTL Sustainability is at the heart of the business, where every day over one million PET
Bottle ends in the landfill without any definite solutions. Here is a company that uses its patented “ReNEW” chemical re-processing of these bottles and converts to highly sustainable PFY which is inherently superior to conventional mechanical reprocessing for these post-consumer PET bottles.

Nevertheless with this technology the company offers its supply chain partners and ultimately all  the consumers a better choice for improving the environment and promoting a more sustainable planet by:

• The process saves  0.7 barrels of oil and 0.20 cubic meter of landfills with recycling of every 1 ton of PET waste
• The process has zero discharge of liquid effluents
• The process saves energy  than a conventional polyester manufacturing
• C02 emissions are notably lower in comparison to peer companies

In coming years Polygenta has a considerable expansion plan with new glycolysis unit and seek for more and cheaper sources of polyester waste like “textile-to-textile” recycling that will convert the large volumes of textile waste into sustainable yarns.
