Thermal conversion technologies are at the core of InVerTec’s expertise in sustainable process engineering. We develop and optimize advanced chemical recycling processes that transform challenging feedstocks into valuable products, enabling polymer recycling, gasification, and the production of high-value chemicals, including monomers.
Our technologies are designed to process a broad spectrum of feedstocks, ranging from end-of-life polymers (e.g., polyamides and polystyrene) and fluoropolymers (e.g., PTFE, ETFE, PVDF, and FKM), as well as complex industrial residues to gaseous and liquid feedstocks.
By combining reaction engineering, advanced reactor technologies, and pilot-scale validation, we bridge the gap between scientific research and industrial implementation. Our processes are tailored to maximize feedstock conversion, product yield and selectivity, and overall process efficiency while meeting the specific requirements of industrial applications.

Due to the challenges posed by climate change, manufacturing processes must transition from fossil fuels to renewable, CO₂-neutral electricity. Another key priority in climate protection is the transition from a linear to a circular economy, especially for polymers. Currently, the vast majority of end-of-life polymers are still routed to thermal recovery, resulting in substantial CO₂ emissions.
InVerTec has extensive experience in developing electrothermal-based processes by applying non-conventional heating technologies such as IR, microwave, induction heating, or plasma applications. These smart reactor technologies have been successfully applied to develop new polymer recycling processes as well as innovative advanced materials.
