C-Recycle

Innovation and education in chemical recycling

C-Recycle, or the Centre for Chemical Recycling Education and Research, is a groundbreaking project focused on the transition from a linear to a circular chemical industry in West-Noord-Brabant. This initiative, funded by the Just Transition Fund (JTF), combines innovative chemical recycling techniques with extensive education and training programs to contribute to a sustainable future.

 

Our mission

With C-Recycle, we want to strengthen the regional chemical sector by training both professionals and students in the latest chemical recycling technologies. Through practice-oriented research, collaboration between companies and knowledge institutions, and on-the-job training (OJT), we want to create a new generation of experts in chemical recycling. In addition, we focus on awareness and acceptance of chemical recycling in the business community and among the general public.

 

What we offer

• For companies: Direct access to the latest chemical recycling technologies such as pyrolysis and solvolysis, through collaboration with top institutions and laboratories. Companies benefit from a trained workforce and can participate in exclusive networking events and conferences. We also support start-ups with workshops, pitch competitions and guidance in writing business plans.

• For students and teachers: A renewed curriculum that integrates the latest innovations in chemical recycling, with a focus on technology and sustainability. Students receive on-the-job training and participate in research projects in the laboratories, preparing them for a career in green chemistry. Teachers and job seekers can participate in specialized trainings and research projects to increase their knowledge.
