Meet 5 South Holland startups are turning waste into opportunity — and building a cleaner, smarter future.

1. Pryme
Pryme uses chemical recycling to turn discarded plastics into valuable oil that can be reused to make new products — reducing emissions and keeping plastic in the loop.

2. Magneto
Magneto replaces traditional, polluting systems with clean magnetocaloric technology that works without refrigerants or fossil fuels — capturing waste heat and cutting emissions by up to 30%.

3. Noria
Noria’s low-energy systems remove up to 95% of floating plastic from rivers before it reaches the ocean — using smart Dutch water tech to protect our ecosystems.

4. Forest-Wool
Forest Wool transforms waste from the timber industry into natural textile fibers — creating a sustainable alternative to synthetics and giving forgotten materials new purpose.

5. CaribAlgae
Transforming waste into life. CaribAlgae grows microalgae using waste CO₂ on the island of Curaçao — creating a circular bioeconomy that supports local communities and helps protect the coral reefs.
