About us

Hardly any material has as much recycling potential as plastics. However, this potential often cannot be fully exploited, especially in the area of packaging. Our coating technology is a game changer for the recycling of plastics and the circular economy of packaging. In addition to packaging manufacturers and users, we were also able to convince the jury of the renowned EU EIC Accelerator Programme about our technology so that we could acquire funding for the next two years, enabling us to bring the technology to market maturity.

Our goal is to change the packaging industry to more sustainability, to enable plastic packaging to be recycled and thus reduce the CO2 impact on the climate. We seek motivated team players to support us on this mission towards a circular economy.
