VITO’s Expertise in Lignin Depolymerization Highlighted in Chem

Intellectual property as the technology valorization tool "par excellence" for circular innovations.

Lancering van het JTF Project C-Recycle: Innovatie en Educatie in Chemische Recycling

From grass to glue, from sugar beet pulp to paint or from wood chips to insulation foam!

Dr. Elias Feghali has spent 2 months at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden Colorado in the team of Dr.

With the LigninPlus project VITO is able to expand its pilot infrastructure for processing lignin to aromatics. This allows us to speed up the process from lab to pilot!

Time to look back on a successful 10th anniversary of Biorizon, the shared research center we started together with TNO at the time, which focuses on scaling up the production of bio-aromatics.

Marlies Thys successfully defended her VITO/VUB PhD and started working as a researcher on material science in VITO.

On the 15th of February 2023, SPOT team was excited to have a full morning session with Prof Dr Rudy Koopmans, who gave us inspiration and useful insights on the global challenge of plastics recycling from an industrial perspective!

On the 1st of December Biorizon’s annual event took place in the online version.
