Mevaldi Secures Funding to Scale Green Chemistry Technology

Key highlights
  • Mevaldi closed a funding round with HTGF and ICIG Ventures to scale its technology.
  • The investment supports the production of bio-based 3MPD for sustainable applications.
  • Mevaldi aims to transition from pilot to demonstration scale with this funding.
  • The production chain is entirely within Europe, using ICIG's plant capacities.

Funding and Partners

Mevaldi B.V., a Dutch biotech company, has secured funding from High-Tech Gründerfonds (HTGF) and ICIG Ventures. This investment will enable Mevaldi to scale up its technology for producing bio-based chemical building blocks.

Innovative Technology

Since its founding in 2020, Mevaldi has developed 3MPD, a bio-based building block for high-performance applications in coatings, adhesives, and elastomers. This product is made from renewable raw materials using a patented hybrid bio-thermocatalytic process.

Production and Impact

The production of 3MPD occurs entirely within Europe, utilizing ICIG's existing plant capacities. This approach reduces environmental impact and supports the EU's goals for a circular economy and strategic autonomy.

Future Plans

The funding will help Mevaldi transition from pilot to demonstration scale and focus on commercializing its flagship product, Pentonext®, for sustainable polyesters and polyurethanes.
