The Eindhoven-based chemical company Ioniqa Technologies has acquired 2.5 million euros' worth of funding from Chemelot Ventures and existing investors, Ioniqa and Chemelot Venturues announced last week. Ioniqa, an Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) spin-off, will be upscaling its invention that enables the full and affordable recycling of colored PET (polyethylene terephthalate). Colorless PET was already fully recyclable but most of the world's PET production of 50 million tons is colored and a significant portion is consigned to the incinerator after use. Now a change is at hand.
