Swiss Economic Forum 2025 – DePoly Award Announcements
Sion, Switzerland – 06/06/2025
We are beyond proud to announce that DePoly has won the top prize in the Deep Tech / Life Sciences category at the 2025 Swiss Economic Forum Awards.
The SEF Awards - widely recognized as a pinnacle of entrepreneurial excellence - shine a spotlight on Swiss startups and scale-ups delivering breakthrough innovations. A distinguished jury of business and science leaders evaluated finalists based on impact, scalability, innovation, and sustainability.
Award Significance
Winning underscores DePoly’s leadership in the advanced recycling space, particularly our patented process for breaking down unsorted PET waste into virgin-grade monomers—Purified Terephthalic Acid (PTA) and Mono Ethylene Glycol (MEG)-identical to their fossil-based counterparts.
A Message from Our CEO
“Winning the SEF Award among such remarkable companies is a strong endorsement of our vision,” said Dr. Samantha Anderson, CEO and co-founder. “This recognition fuels our drive to keep pushing boundaries in plastic recycling and scaling our impact globally.”
Why This Matters
- True circularity: We convert end-of-life PET back into raw building blocks that re-enter the production cycle.
- Scalable impact: From lab to showcase plant in Monthey, DePoly is proving our tech can operate at industrial scale.
- Strategic boost: The SEF recognition opens doors for partnerships, European expansion, and broader investment.
Looking Ahead
This honour isn’t just recognition - it’s a catalyst.
We warmly congratulate Synendos Therapeutics AG and Artiria Medical in the Deep Tech / Life Sciences category for their outstanding contributions and innovations.
DePoly’s technology recycles unsorted, dirty PET waste into virgin-grade raw materials. Those PET precursors, PTA and MEG, are used by the industry to produce new plastics without the need for fossil fuels, while diverting valuable materials from landfills and incineration.

La technologie de DePoly recycle les déchets PET sales et non triés en matières premières de qualité vierge.
Ces précurseurs du PET, le PTA et le MEG, sont utilisés par l'industrie pour produire de nouveaux plastiques sans avoir recours aux combustibles fossiles, tout en détournant des matériaux précieux des décharges et de l'incinération.
