Closing the loop on complex synthetic materials.

Tereform converts post-consumer textile waste into virgin-quality, drop-in recycled nylon and polyester polymers.

Join Us

A chemical recycling platform built for the complexity of real-world waste.

Tereform recovers multiple high-value synthetic polymers from a blended stream—enabling circularity for products conventional recycling systems cannot process.

01

Blended Synthetics

Blended Synthetics

Post-consumer waste is messy, with blends, finishes, coatings, and additives

02

Separation

Proprietary dissolution process separates polymers

03

Deconstruction

Individual polymer streams are broken down into their building blocks

04

Recycled Polymers

Virgin-quality feedstocks ready for existing manufacturing

Why Tereform

Built for Blends

Processes polyester, nylon, spandex, and mixed polymers.

Tolerates Complexity

Handles dyes, finishes, coatings, additives, and contaminants.

Manufacturing Ready

Feedstock integrates into existing systems–no retooling required.

Validated Performance

Material and process validation through industry and national lab partners.

Low Emissions Polymers

Circularity with reduced impact over virgin materials

Building Circular Solutions Across Industries

Apparel

Automotive

Defense

Footwear

Flooring & Carpeting

Technical Textiles

Industrial Materials

Backed by Partnerships. Driven by Impact.

Tereform was spun out of the National Lab of the Rockies and operates under an active CRADA supporting process development, scale-up, and material validation through Department of Energy and Department of Defense-funded programs.
