Waste CO₂-to-Fuel
How can CO₂ from waste incineration become a valuable resource? The Waste CO₂-to-Fuel project develops an integrated process that converts flue-gas CO₂ into syngas and ultimately methanol — a sustainable fuel and key platform chemical.
BOND – Circular Agent
Companies in Flanders and the Netherlands use large amounts of materials, water, and energy every day. As a result, many residual streams remain unused — from packaging and wastewater to food residues and excess heat. Currently, only 12% of materials in the EU are recycled. BOND – Circular Agent aims to change this by helping companies share residual streams in smarter ways, turning waste into collaboration and transforming one company’s by-product into another’s valuable resource.
MycoRenew
MycoRenew explores how pruning and compost waste can be transformed into biodegradable plant pots made from mycelium. By using local residual streams as raw materials, the project demonstrates how biobased materials can contribute to a circular outdoor environment and help reduce plastic pollution.
VR-Retrofit-4U
VR-Retrofit-4U is an MNEXT project that uses virtual reality to engage residents, professionals, and students in the sustainable renovation of social housing — making the energy transition visible, understandable, and accessible to everyone.
LApure
With LApure, we're working on the sustainable production and recycling of lactic acid, the building block of the bioplastic PLA. By reusing residual flows and used PLA, we're moving towards a truly circular and cost-efficient bioplastics supply chain.
Fibre Save
Fibre Save converts low-grade paper and cardboard waste streams into PHB, a biobased plastic, and turns waste fibres into sustainable biobased plastics using innovative fermentation technologies. In this way, it contributes to a circular economy, reduces CO₂ emissions, and promotes the use of fossil-free materials.
ECOPRO
ECOPRO develops biobased, biodegradable colorants that are recyclable and compostable. This contributes to a sustainable alternative to current fossil-based variants and supports the transition toward a circular plastics industry.
BioColEol
How can we make textiles and packaging circular and sustainable without compromising on color and quality? The BioColEol project develops bio-based colorants that are recyclable, compostable, and safer for both humans and the environment.
WheyNot?
The WheyNot project investigates how whey permeate — a residual byproduct of milk processing — can be upgraded into a valuable biobased feedstock for the chemical industry.
