Researcher Sustainable Plastics Technology

Wouter is working for Wageningen University & Research since 2018 as a researcher and project manager within the Sustainable Plastics Technology group. His work focusses on the development of new materials and products from biobased and biodegradable polymer and the development of thermoset polymers with an inherent recyclability. Special interest lies on bridging the gap between concept and application for materials that biodegrade in controlled and open environments. Before starting his position in Wageningen, he studied Chemical Engineering at the University of Twente and in 2017 he obtained his PhD at the faculty of Aerospace Engineering at Delft University of Technology. He highly enjoys translating the fundamental knowledge gathered in his studies to applied and complex research problems that accelerate the market uptake of renewable materials.
