THE 8 IMPACT

About

We divert waste from incineration. 750,000 tons annually between Europe and the US. We are the first to produce high-performance recycled elastomers from used sneakers and tennis balls, offering a catalog of 10 materials. Our solutions enable brands to reduce their environmental impact by using recycled materials with performance and pricing on par with new materials. The quality and substitutability of our recycled materials for virgin materials are recognized by leading brands and plastics manufacturers. We have developed a patented process to separate and regenerate materials. This innovative process is protected by multiple patents. Our PhDs are hosted at Les Mines de Douai, and we have built the world's largest database on technical elastomers, including formulations, toxicology, LCA, properties, and processing parameters. Leveraging over 10M data points, our AI software generates adaptive formulations, automates industrial process decisions, and dynamically calculate LCAs
