New round for grant CPNL now open

CPNL and RVO open new application round on Feb. 18
Entrepreneurs and researchers who recycle specific types of plastics from specific applications and the further development of recycling technologies (chemical, mechanical and dissolution) can apply. Grants can also be applied for research that focuses on the beginning of the recycling chain. Think of automatic sorting of large plastic articles. And for research on analytical techniques that sort (inline) during a production process.
As an entrepreneur or researcher, you can receive funding for a research project or showcase.
