Transforming waste into circular cellulose acetate
IMEKO® has developed advanced chemical technology to purify and regenerate cellulose acetate from diverse waste sources, transforming what was once discarded into a premium material ready to re-enter the industrial cycle.
THE MISSING CIRCULARITY
We recover cellulose acetate from diverse waste streams and transform it into recovered, redesigned materials that gain new life. Celion® reborn from cigarette butts, and Re-tate™ recycled from production waste — together, they show how IMEKO® exists to drive a paradigm shift across industries, proving that a circular economy is possible.
OUR MATERIALS
Recycled acetate born from pre-consumer industrial waste. With end-to-end traceability, it combines technical precision with a circular soul, meeting the rigorous standards of luxury eyewear and beyond.
Discover
The first acetate reborn from cigarette waste. Through our proprietary process, we recover pure cellulose acetate, eliminate toxicity, and transform it into a high-performance circular material.
DiscoverSUSTAINABILITY MEETS HIGH-QUALITY
Our materials are developed through a proprietary technology platform that combines mechanical and chemical processes to recover and regenerate cellulose acetate from complex post-consumer and industrial waste streams, enabling its reintegration into high-value applications. Through this technology, we produce our circular cellulose acetate materials: Celion® and Re-tate™.
