What we do
Briefly summarized, Triple Helix counters harmful emissions and waste pollution by developing solutions that convert waste streams or residual flows into valuable raw materials or products. This avoids default incineration or landfill. To achieve this we develop both people and assets.

MAAS principle
Molecules as a Service (MAAS) transforms waste into value by keeping molecules in circulation—avoiding landfill and incineration. We recover, recycle, and upcycle materials to replace virgin resources, balancing sustainability with energy efficiency. Our local-first model minimizes eco-footprints while a central innovation hub drives continuous improvement.

IP principle
At Triple Helix, intellectual property (IP) drives everything we do. We focus on solving complex challenges that haven’t been addressed systemically before—unlocking new patents, proprietary know-how, and trade secrets along the way. Our IP spans the entire process, from converting waste into valuable resources to the technical details of pre-treatment, purification, and logistics. This continuous innovation fuels our geographically replicated operational companies (OpCo’s), ensuring they stay ahead with cutting-edge knowledge and a competitive first-mover advantage.

OPCO principle
Our operational companies (OpCo’s) are built with sustainability at their core—designed to meet the highest ESG standards while delivering real impact. By positioning our first-of-a-kind operations close to our HQ or within carefully monitored partner sites, we ensure full transparency and responsible management. Our geographically distributed model also allows us to adapt to local environmental challenges and regulatory frameworks while maintaining a global standard of excellence.
Fields
There are many forms of recycling and quite frankly, we will need all of them at this point in time. Depending on the specific waste stream, we look for the most sustainable solution in terms of footprint, energy and value after recovery and conversion. This has led to 4 areas of interest in our portfolio.
The first area is (real) chemical recycling. Because of the required CAPEX investment for such operations, we tend to focus only on high value or complex polymers, resins and composites. The reference case is of course our work on polyurethanes recycling with G-PUR and SurePUre Antwerp. Solutions are really all about depolymerizing waste streams back into basic building blocks that can flow back into the chemical industry. We do not focus on thermal heat recovery only, nor on pyrolysis or gasification.
A second area typically interesting for low value and abundantly available waste streams is mechanical recycling of solid waste streams and/or waste streams of biobased materials coming from the food and agricultural industry.
Initiatives in this area are focusing on making finished products or semi-finished products through a combination of waste streams and a low cost production process. Examples here are products from various types of stone waste, glass waste, starch based waste streams etc…
A third field is recovering or capturing & cleaning liquid and gaseous waste streams or residual flows from a variety of industries or by absorbing specific greenhouse gases like CO2. Our Electricon technology allows just that in addition to generating hydrogen and opening the door to Direct Air Capture and democratizing CO2 capture for CCU/S with the lowest energy requirement in the market.
Finally, our fourth field of interest is all technologies that help automate and enhance the quality of recycling processes. Knowing what is out there or knowing the content and contaminations in incoming waste streams is just one example.
