?? Let's replace non-recyclable coatings and enable a fully circular economy in the packaging industry! IonKraft secures €3.5 million equity funding in a round co-led by M Ventures & TVF | TechVision Fonds and joined by HTGF | High-Tech Gründerfonds. The capital will be used to prepare the market entry and scale production. ?? IonKraft is a spin-off of RWTH Aachen University and has developed a patented technology that enables packaging producers to replace millions of tons of non-recyclable multilayer or fluorinated (PFAS) packaging that cannot be recycled. Furthermore, the barrier technology can provide sufficient protection to allow the incorporation of recycled materials into packaging for sensitive, food or cosmetics products. ??? Benedikt Heuer, Co-Founder of IonKraft, says: “This financing round is a decisive step to support the market launch of our technology and to prepare for future scaling. We are thrilled to have a diverse group of investors who share our vision and will provide us with support on multiple levels.” ?? Nils Konstantin Lang, Investment Manager at HTGF, comments: “We are excited to support IonKraft in their market roll-out and expansion. Their solution addresses strong market demand and aligns with the current momentum of change. With an excellent team and an outstanding track record, we are confident they are well-prepared for any challenges that may lie ahead.” ?? Congratulations to Benedikt, his co-founder Dr. Montgomery Jaritz and the whole team at IonKraft! ?? Kudos to Vishal Singh and Remco Janssen of Silicon Canals for their insightful article.
