Ioniqa is a clean-tech spinoff from the Eindhoven University of Technology, specialized in creating value out of waste by using its proprietary circular technology. With a cost-effective process, Ioniqa is able to close the loop for plastics, starting with PET plastics. This award-winning innovation transforms all types and colours of PET plastic waste into valuable ‘virgin-quality’ materials for food-approved PET plastic.
Up-cycling processes by Ioniqa for other types of plastic are being researched and are expected to be launched in the near future. In 2019,Ioniqa was named ‘National icon’ by the Netherlands government.
