DeReSus®
Advancing waste film recycling and
enhancing the value of recycled materials.
What is DeReSus®?
DeReSus® is DIC’s patented, next-generation recycling process technology that removes printing inks and coatings from waste films and upgrades them into high-quality recycled resins.
Through this advanced mechanical recycling process, DIC contributes to the production of sustainable materials and the expansion of their applications.
Do you face these challenges?
- Recycled resins containing residual inks suffer from reduced quality and limited applications.
- Reusing coated films and sheets as raw materials is challenging.
- Securing a stable supply of high-quality recycled resins remains difficult.

Expanding resource recovery through the mechanical recycling of plastics is increasingly urgent.
Awareness of achieving the SDGs, decarbonization, and building a circular society is rising worldwide.
The market size for plastic recycling in Japan, the EU, and the U.S. is expected to grow toward 2030.
In Japan, circular systems are progressing—such as the collection, recycling, and remanufacturing of used PET bottles, as well as the recovery of post-consumer plastics through cooperation between municipalities and companies. As a result, the market and demand for recycled plastics continue to increase each year.

What DeReSus® Can Do and What It Aims to Achieve
DIC will leverage DeReSus® technology to tackle what can be done quickly. To reduce waste plastic, we will first establish a system to recycle waste plastic before it enters the market.
We are seeking partners who share our commitment to this initiative.
