Circular recycling & upcycling of textiles, plastics, and/or biobased materials
Project Manager at Centexbel
Zwijnaarde, Belgium
About
Centexbel can contribute expertise and pilot-scale facilities for textile, polymer, bio-based and complex multi-material streams, including material identification, separation and pre-treatment, recycling, processing and compounding of recycled and bio-based polymers, recovery and valorisation of textile and natural fibres, and material and product characterisation.
For complex products such as footwear, Centexbel can contribute to material identification, disassembly and separation of textile, polymer and other material fractions, as well as their recycling and subsequent validation. For biotech-based recycling approaches, we are interested in complementing biotechnology developers with expertise in material preparation, processing and validation of recovered materials.
