THE 8 IMPACT (T8I) is a French deeptech, founded in 2021. We turn end-of-life sport shoes and tennis balls into regenerated rubber that holds an industrial spec. Our patented mechanical process separates the materials, dry, and isolates the rubber. We regenerate it, then formulate it against real performance targets. The value comes from the formulation. Our proprietary 8TWIN software links polymer characterisation to compound performance: 3,000+ end-of-life products analysed, 10 million R&D datapoints. Three PhDs drive our R&D, hosted at IMT Nord Europe. Every batch is traceable from intake to delivery. Every compound is REACH-compliant and carries its own life cycle assessment and toxicology file. OKTARA™, our compound brand for footwear outsoles, runs today at Veja and Decathlon, with 30% regenerated content in the rubber fraction. Microniz8™, our regenerated rubber, serves technical rubber applications beyond footwear: a characterised feedstock for compounders and rubber part producers across Europe. Send us your spec: we will propose a test route. We source end-of-life tennis balls across Europe. Collectors, clubs and recyclers: talk to us.
