About us

SYNOVA develops, licenses, and supplies technologies for the recycling of plastics. We work together with world-class technology partners to offer complete solutions for the conversion of waste into base-chemicals like olefins, aromatics, and styrene.

Vision and mission

We are convinced that the ability of our technology to handle contaminated plastic waste at large scale is essential to become a major player in recycling plastics. This brings value for our shareholders, our partners, and … the world.

We aim to reduce new fossil extraction by deploying our proprietary technologies into the market. We do this together with strong partners that share our belief in the commercial and sustainability advantages of our technologies.

History

Since 1999, we have been developing technology and processes to advance and transform the future of plastic recycling. In collaboration with TNO, we’ve patented this technology, increased its capacity, and shifted our focus from energy production to advanced or molecular recycling of plastics.
