Shaping lasting circular solutions.

Hard-to-recycle materials

Recycled materials behave in complex ways, and unsorted textiles and mattresses rarely fit efficient economic flows. Our answer: applied research on shape-memory rPET/rPETg, distributed mattress recycling, and infrastructure concepts from unsorted recycled textiles.

Founder & president

Stefan-Dumitru Sava

Founder and president of the Inotech / ACE Association, co-founder of Better Tech Lab Ltd, PhD candidate in advanced materials at the "Gheorghe Asachi" Technical University of Iasi, and a biomedical engineer.

His path combines physical product, research, grants, circular entrepreneurship and cooperative architectures — held together by one constant question: how do we build technical solutions without losing the people they're made for?

"I didn't choose to be an inventor. I chose not to take part in systems that quietly sideline people."
