FEYECON DEVELOPMENT & IMPLEMENTATION BV

Their core work

Feyecon is a Dutch technology SME specializing in supercritical CO2 processing, enzymatic treatments, and green chemistry techniques applied to food, bio-based materials, and industrial valorization. They develop and scale processes that use supercritical fluids, enzymes, and ionic liquids to extract high-value compounds from biomass, refine vegetable oils, and treat waste streams. Their work spans food drying technologies, lignocellulosic feedstock conversion, aquatic biomass processing, and plastic recycling — always centered on replacing harsh chemical processes with cleaner alternatives.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

Feyecon's early H2020 work (2015–2018) focused on food and biomass processing — drying technologies, lignocellulosic conversion, and aquatic biomass extraction. From 2019 onward, they branched into circular economy applications: enzymatic plastic recycling (ENZYCLE), CO2-to-fuel conversion (CO2Fokus), and waste-stream valorization of vegetable oil byproducts (IRODDI). The shift shows a company moving from food-sector process optimization toward broader environmental and circular economy challenges, while retaining their core competence in green chemistry techniques.

Feyecon is pivoting from pure food-sector work toward plastic recycling, CO2 conversion, and industrial waste valorization — expect them to pursue more circular economy and sustainability projects.

How they like to work

Feyecon participates exclusively as a consortium partner, never as coordinator, which suggests they position themselves as a specialist technology provider rather than a project leader. With 57 unique partners across 14 countries in just 6 projects, they work in large, diverse consortia — typical of BBI and RIA projects. This makes them a reliable, low-overhead partner who brings specific process technology without competing for the coordination role.

Feyecon has built a broad European network of 57 unique partners across 14 countries through 6 projects, indicating they consistently join large consortia with diverse membership rather than repeat partnerships with a small circle.

What sets them apart

Feyecon sits at the intersection of green chemistry, supercritical fluid technology, and enzymatic processing — a combination few SMEs can offer. Their ability to apply these techniques across food, plastics, and chemical valorization makes them unusually versatile for a small company. For consortium builders, they offer proven process-scale technology in clean extraction and waste treatment without the overhead of a large corporate partner.

Highlights from their portfolio

• FUTURE-FOOD
  Their largest funded project (EUR 455,891), focused on environmentally friendly food drying technology — their entry point into H2020.
• ENZYCLE
  Represents a strategic pivot into enzymatic plastic recycling, targeting hard-to-recycle multi-layer and polyolefin plastics — a high-growth circular economy domain.
• CO2Fokus
  Their only non-food-sector project, involving 3D printed reactors for CO2-to-dimethyl ether conversion — shows expanding technical range into energy and chemical engineering.
