About us
Pioneers on a mission
We are pioneers of possibility, harnessing the power of plasma technology to redefine how industries interact with the environment. By transforming pollution into clean air, waste into resources, and CO₂ into opportunity, we challenge what’s possible and set new frontiers in sustainable innovation. At KapiteinLabs, we take the impossible and make it scalable. Our plasma-based solutions are designed to:
- Erase Industrial Footprints – Eliminating up to 100% of emissions through clean, chemical-free technology.
- Turn Emissions into Resources – Pioneering circular chemistry by converting greenhouse gases into usable raw materials.
- Revolutionize Energy Efficiency – Reducing power consumption by up to 95%, making sustainability cost-effective.
- Empower Industries for a New Era – Helping companies comply, compete, and lead in transitioning to a zero-waste economy.
Science meets scale
Breakthroughs only matter when they reach the world. That’s why we go beyond research, partnering with leading institutions like TU Eindhoven, ETH Zurich, and Hitachi Energy to bring plasma technology out of the lab and into the hands of industries that need it most. From waste processing and water purification to advanced chemical manufacturing, we create solutions that don’t just promise change, they deliver it.
"At KapiteinLabs, we are not waiting for the future- we are creating it."
A Call to Action: Be Part of the Transformation
The way we make things is changing. The question is no longer whether we will transition to a cleaner world but who will lead the way.
At KapiteinLabs, we are not waiting for the future- we are creating it.
