CarbonX

"CarbonX is an advanced materials company co-founded by Rutger van Raalten and Daniela Sordi in 2014. The company is the sole producer and supplier of CarbonX® worldwide. Rutger van Raalten was part of the team that invented CarbonX® in 2007 at the Department of Chemical Engineering at TU Delft, for which a patent granted in 2009. As an expert in functionalised carbon nanomaterials for smart and sustainable applications, Daniela Sordi was the first to validate the potential of this new material. Our Vision is the quest for faster, smaller, stronger, and more powerful technologies has led to incredible progress. But somewhere along the way, the use of our planet’s resources took a very wrong turn. We believe in a better, more sustainable world. One in which we use and re-use our planet’s resources more efficiently, generate less waste, and rely less on raw materials from rare or virgin sources. A world in which progress no longer comes at the cost of the environment. To make this vision a reality, we must re-think the very materials we use. Manufacturers looking to enhance material properties in their products are often forced to choose between the performance they want and the sustainability we need. But with CarbonX® they don’t have to. CarbonX® is more than just carbon. CarbonX® is a revolutionary new carbon material that can unlock new design possibilities to improve performance without compromising sustainability. It can be used to make stronger, more lightweight, and longer-lasting products with the capacity to actively reduce CO2 and particle emissions, generate less waste, improve recyclability, and embrace circularity."
