Pioneering Circularity with Plasma Technology

Our Mission

A Circular Economy

IonKraft is a spin-off startup from the Institute of Plastics Processing (IKV) at the RWTH Aachen University. Millions of plastic containers every year can be made recyclable with our coating technology. Many chemical products have high demands on their packaging. Therefore, inexpensive packaging plastics are currently combined with expensive barrier plastics in multi-layer packaging containers, which are a challenge for recycling.

We have developed a barrier coating system on mono-material plastics, which can provide the same functional properties as the multi-material approach in terms of barrier and chemical resistance, but they are significantly less expensive and most importantly fully recyclable.

Our values

Pioneering

We want to be pioneers in plasma coating technology and disrupt the packaging industry.

Responsibility

We empower each other to take responsibility for our actions and results.

Appreciation

Our work is meaningful and valuable, and we treat our colleagues, customers, and partners accordingly.

Mistakes

Mistakes are part of the game, especially if you start something from scratch. We learn and act from our mistakes.

Fun

We work hard. But that doesn't stop us from having fun at work!
