Innovative Start-Ups Honored at the ISC3 Innovation Challenge 2025 – Power2Polymers from Germany wins top prize

© DECHEMA e.V. 

From cutting-edge chemical recycling and more sustainable polymers to renewable fuels, clean energy technologies, and low-carbon construction materials, the most promising innovators in Sustainable Chemistry pitched their ideas at the final of the ISC3 Innovation Challenge 2025. The 6th edition of the https://isc3.org/page/innovation-challenge

Finalists of the ISC3 Innovation Challenge 2025:

AC Biode (Japan/Luxembourg) – AC?Biode’s Plastalyst enables low-temperature, solvent-free chemical recycling of hard-to-recycle plastics into useful outputs like monomers, hydrogen, and methanol.

CLIMASEL (Azerbaijan) – CLIMASEL develops bio-based phase-change material panels that absorb heat during the day and release it at night, helping regulate indoor temperatures and reduce cooling energy use.

ClimEtSan-OnTheGround GmbH (Germany) – ClimEtSan-OnTheGround implements circular climate projects that integrate clean cooking, eco-sanitation, and biochar fertilizer production, while enabling carbon offsetting (emission compensation through external projects) or insetting (emission reduction within a company’s own supply chain) for global companies.

ETB Global B.V. (Netherlands) – ETB developed a process to produce bio-butadiene, a key building block for plastics, rubber and other chemicals compositions, with high conversion and  selectivity from bio-ethanol.

Palki Motors Limited (Bangladesh) – Palki Motors designs and manufactures long-range electric cars featuring innovative fast battery swap technology to offer affordable, sustainable urban mobility in Bangladesh.

Power2Polymers (Germany) – Power2Polymers develops cost-effective, more sustainable high-performance polymers by integrating a novel building block (POM), cutting carbon footprints by up to 40%.

Spark e-Fuels GmbH (Germany) – Spark e-Fuels produces renewable, carbon-neutral synthetic fuels using renewable electricity and CO? to accelerate the defossilation of aviation.

Theseus Development (Ghana) – Theseus Development produces geopolymer?based concrete, delivering low?carbon and high?performance building materials for affordable and resilient housing.

VerdiSol (United Arab Emirates) – VerdiSol transforms agri-food waste into nanofibers to boost soil health, water retention, and sustainable farming in arid regions.

Virgin Green Renewable Energy Limited (Zambia) – Virgin Green converts biomass waste into charcoal briquettes, improved cook?stoves, and wood vinegar, empowering local women entrepreneurs while reducing CO? emissions and deforestation.
