Projects

Through our collaborative innovation projects involving industrial and academic partners, we actively contribute and give rise to a sustainable and competitive chemicals and plastics industry in Flanders. Our projects fit into an overarching Innovation Agenda, which includes four specific Innovation Programs. Click on the projects and take a deeper dive.

GAME

Genetic Approaches and cultivation protocols to unravel MEtabolite production by Porphyra spp. targeted towards human and plant health applications.

Map-it CCU

Mapping and evaluation of carbon capture and utilization technologies for low-flow or low-concentration industrial CO2 emissions.

DISSOLV

DISSOLV will drive the development for PVC waste from flooring, carpets and tarpaulin applications which cannot be recycled today, due to the presence of textile fibers and legacy additives.

NaPoly

NaPoly aims at establishing design rules for the homogeneous dispersion of nanoparticles.

CropExplore 4 Farmers

The CropExplore 4 Farmers project is mapping the potential of more than 200 arable crops within the Flemish bioeconomy with deder, yacon and hemp as demonstration cases.

DELICARE

DEpolymerisation of hydrolysis LIgnin for Conversion to Acrylic REsins

FF-PFAS

Fast Forward on PFAS Removal - Gathering, Observing, Neutralising.

PROMIS

sustainable PROduction of bio-based Multi-reactive ISocyanates

ODORETION

Towards sustainable solutions for better malodor elimination.

BluePlasma

Project BluePlasma: Circular CO₂ conversion by means of atmospheric plasma.

FResCo

Fouling Restraining Coatings for Marine and Terrestrial Application

Multi2Recycle

In the Multi2Recycle project, the goal is to develop ‘Design for Recycling’ guidelines for multilayer plastic food packaging, incorporating both recyclability and optimal barrier properties.
