About usIn an EveryCarbon world, ECOne™ high-performance plastics are made from biological waste. Our radically feedstock-agnostic technology closes the gap between waste management and chemical manufacturing, and it has just won the SPRIND Circular Biomanufacturing Challenge 2026. By turning mixed organic waste into materials that replace fossil-based plastics where it matters most, we end the compromise between performance, price and planet. Our team in Tübingen and Hamburg gives people room to take initiative and rewards those who use it. Join us and make every carbon count.
