Company history/background
Disruptive single-step plastic recognition
A Dutch deep-tech company has developed a patented technology that recognizes and separates hard plastics in a single process step — including subtypes and black plastic. This breaks through the limitations of existing, fragmented recycling lines.
Company activities
Structural cost and efficiency gains
The technology reduces sorting costs by >50%, lowers energy consumption by ~70%, and minimizes residual streams. Where up to 40% is currently incinerated, a significantly higher reusable output is generated.
Unique selling points
New economic standard in recycling
The process yields r-granulate that can compete with virgin material. This shifts recycling from a cost center to a revenue model — scalable through licenses and industrial partnerships.
