Wij zijn ISPT - Instituut voor duurzaamheid in de industrie

We are the Institute for Sustainable Process Technology

At the heart of our efforts is the transition towards a CO2-neutral, circular economy in 2050. But a sustainable future requires more than technological innovations: it requires collaboration. That’s why our core business is not in engineering, but in connecting people.

At ISPT, we are fully aware of the role the industry plays in responsible use of resources and energy. But we chose not to look at them as the big bad polluter, but an indispensable partner in building a green future.

ISPT is the leading institute for open innovation in the process industry in the Netherlands

Our vision

At ISPT we envision a waste-free economy in which products and raw materials are either recycled or reused. This means transforming the whole value chain, and that is a fundamentally different approach.

It is no longer about separate process innovations, but about system innovation and closing the chain together.

How do we make the process industry more sustainable?

Our idea is that through open innovation companies can be more successful. Open innovation means that companies share practical experience and R&D ideas with each other – rather than just doing this alone or inhouse. The business model remains central, the technology and co-creation are additional advantages.

That is where we play our part: creating a trust-based environment that connects the parties involved and facilitate their sharing of expertise and know-how in joint projects. This gets development off to a flying start and accelerates feasible, innovative and sustainable solutions that will lead to full circularity by 2050.
