ChainCraft

The transition to a circular economy isn’t just about innovation, it’s about scaling sustainable solutions to create real impact. That’s why Marc den Hartog, CEO of ChainCraft, will be speaking today at Innoboost x Tekkoo: Overcoming Challenges in Scaling Circularity, sharing insights on how to bridge the gap between circular innovation and large-scale implementation. This discussion comes at a perfect time, as the Week van de Circulaire Economie highlights the pioneers shaping the future of sustainability. With over 275 events across the Netherlands, this week underscores the urgency and huge potential of circular business models. At ChainCraft, we transform agri-food waste into valuable fatty acids, replacing fossil and palm oil-based materials. By connecting with the right partners, supportive shareholders, and working with leading brand owners, we accelerate the decarbonization of the economy and make it circular. #TurningChemistryCircular #CircularEconomy #ScalingUp #Sustainability #Innovation #Innoboost #Tekkoo #WvdCE #Leadership #decarbonization Fotocredit: Jacqueline Fuijkschot 

Dilek Ersu will represent us at F&L Asia Ltd. in Bali, Indonesia, one of the leading events for the fuels and lubricants industry. This year’s theme, “Energizing Tomorrow: Pioneering Sustainable Solutions in Fuels and Lubricants,” perfectly aligns with our mission to replace fossil-based raw materials with bio-based, circular alternatives.   As the industry shifts toward low-carbon solutions and advanced lubricant technologies, Dilek is going to present how ChainCraft’s circular fatty acids can play a key role in creating more sustainable, high-performance lubricants.

Is the future of fragrances and flavours just about new scents or tastes, or also about how sustainably they are produced? From March 5th to 7th, Jeroen van Dorp will be attending the FRAGRANCES AND FLAVOURS ASSOCIATION OF INDIA (FAFAI), diving into how circular chemistry can develop the fragrance and flavour industry. By converting organic residues into high-purity fatty acids, we offer a more sustainable alternative to traditional ingredients derived from palm oil and petrochemicals.   With sustainability becoming a key focus in the fragrance and flavour industry, Jeroen will explore how circular solutions can offer reliable, high-quality alternatives to conventional ingredients, while significantly reducing environmental impact.   Curious about how waste can become the foundation of the next generation of fragrances? Let’s connect at FAFAI 2025!   #FAFAI2025 #TurningChemistryCircular #SustainableFragrances #Innovation #Flavours #CircularEconomy #BioBasedSolutions

Last Friday, students from Chemische Technologie - Hogeschool Rotterdam visited our plant at the Port of Amsterdam Together with their lecturer and former Crafter Robbert Binneveld, a group of 20 Process Engineering students got a firsthand look at how circular chemistry is shaping the future of the chemical industry. It was great to introduce them to our work and show what a career in sustainable process engineering can look like. We hope to see these students back at ChainCraft in the future! #TurningChemistryCircular #FutureEngineers #ChemischeTechnologie #Sustainability #CircularEconomy #Innovation

We believe in making an impact. In this recent Change Inc. article, our founder and Chief Growth Officer, Niels Van Stralen, shares his vision for circular chemistry and how we are driving innovation in this space. As Niels explains: "I have always believed that waste should be seen as a resource, not a problem. The challenge is to create solutions that make sustainability both scalable and economically viable. That’s exactly what we do, developing technology that turns organic residues into valuable raw materials for industries looking to move away from fossil-based resources." With plans to significantly scale up production, including a first-of-its-kind facility in collaboration with Royal Avebe, we are taking bold steps toward a more sustainable, bio-based economy.
