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 are pioneers in plasma coating technology, redefining sustainable packaging solutions. We challenge the status quo and push boundaries to enable a circular economy in plastic packaging.

Responsibility

We take ownership of our actions, decisions, and results while supporting each other as one team.

Appreciation

We value the people behind the work. We recognize contributions, take time for each other, and build a culture of trust and support.

Mistakes

Mistakes are inevitable, especially when starting from scratch. We openly address them, take responsibility, and focus on finding solutions and learning.

Fun

We work hard, solve tough problems, and enjoy doing it together. But by celebrating successes and strong team spirit, we keep ourselves motivated.
