Eindhoven-based\u00a0TUSTI has been named the Best Chemical Start-up of 2016. The start-up got the award -known as De Gouden Kiem 2016- from NWO Chemical Sciences, Topsector Chemical\u00a0and InnovationLink. The award is handed out every year.<\/p>\n
TUSTI\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0recycles plastic packaging on an industrial scale.\u00a0The company puts a strong focus on making that process a durable and environment-friendly one. TUSTI processes the plastic and sells it to partners afterwards.<\/p>\n Methods that clean and recycle plastic packaging that exist still cause an amount of pollution and are not cost effective. TUST attacks that problem.<\/p>\n The Gouden KIEM<\/a>\u00a0was awarded to TUSTI because the company mixes its academic roots with a strong entrepeneural spirit. According to the jury, the company also has a strong impact on society.<\/p>\n The Gouden Kiem has been awarded once a year since\u00a02014. Companies in the chemical sector that have only existed for three years or less can be nominated for the award, as long as they have roots in a university.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Eindhoven-based\u00a0TUSTI has been named the Best Chemical Start-up of 2016.
