THE 8 IMPACT is the first deeptech dedicated to the transformation of elastomers, including rubber and EVA from used sports and leisure articles.
We transform rubber into recycled materials that can be substituted for new material.
The regulatory obligation aims to integrate 20% recycled material – so we are creating a new market – generating major impact savings
THE 8’s technology is referenced by already major players from the footwear industries and plasturgists .
Our plant (protected by IP) is in France (Bourg en Bresse)
We have developed 8TWIN, our software guaranteeing deposit tracing and impact savings measurements that meets our customers’ transparency requirements.
Thanks to our disassembly line, we isolate the materials from each other and obtain purity rates close to 100% – the materials can then be upgraded with high added value and replace new material.
We have in-house R&D capability with 3 x PHD in materials chemistry to work on full circular programs or development of high performance material – available off the shelf
