Sustainable materials and products
We develop and scale sustainable materials, based on our unique expertise in material properties, combined with our laboratory expertise and modelling capabilities. This is crucial to meet the European policy targets of 50% circularity and 55% CO2 reduction in 2030, and full circularity and climate neutrality in 2050.

TNO offers a unique knowledge position, an independent perspective and a network to bring stakeholders together and guide them through the transition. We focus on developing new sustainable materials that are easy to recycle, have smart functionalities, save energy, have a low environmental impact and contain significantly less critical or toxic substances.
Collaborate with us through strategic partnerships to increase the impact of our technologies and accelerate market introduction.
