"We are really excited about the next stage of our Stuff4Life journey. Our ultimate goal remains the same – to make new polyester products from old polyester products – but also to make the next generation of workwear last even longer, perform even better and be more recyclable when its job is done. This can make a real difference delivering not just a circular economy for critical materials but decarbonising industrial processes and delivering even better outcomes for all."

John Twitchen
Director and Co-Founder
The future for DEScycle is really exciting. DES truly has the potential to change the world, delivering a step-change in how we produce and recycle metals. By replacing energy and emission intensive processes with DEScycle’s novel technology we can supply the energy transition with low-impact low-carbon metal. Thanks to CPI’s investment and in-house experience, we will be able to rapidly commercialise this technology and bring real disruption to the metals market.
