Innovation applied to the circular economy
We turn waste, technical needs and product ideas into real, workable circular solutions.
We develop innovation projects tailored to each company's needs: we find new applications for their waste, develop recycled materials with specific performance properties and design bespoke circular products.
We support each project from the initial analysis through testing, validation and potential industrialisation.
1 Waste valorisation
Do you have a waste stream and are looking for a new application?
We analyse its characteristics and transformation potential to turn it into a new material, component or product.
More information
We study the composition and technical potential of the waste, identify valorisation options and define the tests needed to confirm their feasibility.
The goal is to find a technically and environmentally sound solution that brings the waste back into a new production cycle.
2 Materials development
Do you need a material with specific properties?
We develop and optimise recycled materials tailored to the technical and regulatory requirements of each application.
More information
We work on the formulation, processability and validation of the material to achieve the properties each project needs: strength, durability, fire behaviour or other specific performance requirements.
3 Product development
Do you want to create a circular product?
We design and develop bespoke products using your own waste or recycled raw materials from other suppliers.
More information
We support the project from concept definition and ecodesign through technical development, prototyping, pilot manufacturing and the study of its potential scale-up.
From innovation to market
We have experience in textile and plastic waste valorisation projects, from waste characterisation and formulation development to the manufacture and validation of new materials, products and applications.
The experience PREWASTE has built up in research, recycled-material development and new applications gave rise to WALUE, an initiative born from our expertise in innovation and the circular economy.
Through WALUE, this knowledge takes shape as materials, products and collections for a wide range of applications.
How do we develop your project?
We bring together the knowledge and partners needed to take each project from idea to viable solution.
Discover our process
Our support may include:
- Analysis of the waste, material or need.
- Identification of opportunities.
- Research and development.
- Design of materials or products.
- Testing, prototypes and technical validation.
- Sourcing industrial processes and partners.
- Support with industrialisation and scale-up.
- Identifying and managing public funding for R&D&I projects.
We work with a network of technology centres, universities, laboratories, designers, specialists and industrial partners to bring the most suitable capabilities to each project.
