Details

• URL: https://capture-resources.be/
• What it is: research and innovation initiative on the circular economy and resource recovery (water, CO₂ and plastics)
• Mission (as on the site): accelerate radical technological innovations in sustainable resource recovery through multidisciplinary collaboration, with a focus on valorisation
• Approach: thematic pipelines + 3 pillars (Research, Dissemination/Training, Valorization)

What is CAPTURE?

CAPTURE aims to make “together we become circular” real by contributing to the circular economy through disruptive innovation. They focus on accelerating radical technological innovations in sustainable resource recovery, with a clear focus on valorisation (bringing knowledge/technology to industry and society).

What do they work on? (pipelines)

CAPTURE clusters expertise, infrastructure and stakeholders in thematic pipelines, including:

• CO₂ to product
• Water fit for use
• Plastics to resource

How do they do it? (pillars)

1) Research

R&D within the pipelines around recovery of water, CO₂ and plastics.

2) Dissemination / Training

Sharing knowledge via e.g. seminars or an online (self-paced) MOOC.

3) Valorization

Accelerating the flow of knowledge and technology to industry and society.
