We introduced ReSpec in 2022.
ReSpec is a brand of DuFor Polyester Specialties that focuses on increasing recycling loops for special PET solutions. It embodies DuFor’s commitment to responsible innovation, offering customized materials for industries seeking both quality and circularity.
Our expertise starts with custom-made PET materials. For our customers, we develop polyester grades that match their exact technical requirements without hindering recyclability. This means that our customers can return production waste, and even end products, which can be reprocessed into valuable raw materials for their specific applications.
In this way, the same material — originally designed as virgin — gets multiple lives as high-quality PET with recycled content, which significantly lowers CO₂ impact.
Internal LCA calculations have shown that our ReSpec approach of using high-grade recycled feedstocks and optimizing formulations for energy-efficient processing, can reduce your CO₂ footprint by up to 75% compared to virgin plastics.
This makes ReSpec the smart choice for companies looking to lower their environmental footprint — without compromising on technical performance. At the core lies a simple principle: Design for Recycling — ensuring your products fit seamlessly into a closed-loop system.
