What ReSolved Technologies does

ReSolved Technologies BV is a Dutch deep-tech startup incorporated in December 2020 and headquartered at the Brightlands Chemelot Campus in Geleen, Netherlands. The company develops and is commercializing solvent-based (dissolution) recycling technology to recover engineering plastics — initially ABS, HIPS, and later PC, PMMA, and PA — from complex post-consumer waste streams such as E-waste and automotive scrap. Its process entirely dissolves the target polymer in a solvent, purifies the solution to remove interior contaminants (fillers, colorants, flame retardants, softeners, and legacy additives that are increasingly banned under EU law), and recovers near-virgin quality polymer while keeping polymer chains intact. The company positions this as a physical recycling method complementary to, rather than competitive with, existing mechanical recycling infrastructure, and claims 50–80% lower CO2 emissions versus virgin plastic production.

The commercial portfolio spans three revenue streams: (i) sale of near-virgin quality recycled ABS and HIPS resins to OEMs in the electrical & electronic (E&E) and automotive sectors for closed-loop applications, with a first production line targeted for 2027; (ii) Carbon & Circularity (C&C) credits combining CO2 savings with circularity benefits, structured as a €300k development contribution for ~6,000 tCO2e at €50k per 1,000 tCO2e; and (iii) technical consulting services spanning waste-sample analysis, tailored process design (mechanical and solvent-based), lab/pilot testing, and economic evaluation. Go-to-market is enterprise direct sales to OEMs, virgin plastic producers, and waste feedstock owners, with multi-year qualification cycles. The 5–10 person team is led by CEO & Founder Norbert Fraunholcz, supported by COO Juul Cuijpers (appointed April 2024), CFO Kevin Hoeijmakers, CCO Jean-Jacques Collin, Project Engineer Leon Smeets, and advisory board members Frank Kuijpers (former SABIC Corporate Sustainability lead) and Ton van der Giessen (ex-CEO Kunststof Recycling Van Werven, board member Circular Plastics NL).

To date the company has raised approximately €2.51M cumulatively: a €50k LIOF regional tender (June 2021), a €1M seed round (August 2023) led by Brightlands Venture Partners and ifund Foundation, and a €1.46M EU Just Transition Fund grant (October 2023) for the 'De oplossing voor oplossen' pilot plant, with a subsequent JTF award for the AVEREC 4 kT/a demonstration plant (March 2026). Pilot plant construction was completed and testing/commissioning entered in early 2026; the company is currently pre-revenue and targeting 2027 for first commercial-scale ABS/HIPS production.
