About us

Hardly any material has as much recycling potential as plastics. However, this potential often cannot be fully exploited, especially in packaging applications. 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. Since 2025, the first products featuring our technology have been on the market.

Our goal is to make the packaging industry more sustainable, 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.
