瑞士清洁科技创业公司Verretex致力于将废旧玻璃纤维化废为宝。[1]该公司成立于2025年，由洛桑联邦理工学院衍生，由首席执行官Mitchell D. Anderson、首席运营官Lidia Rocoffort de Vinnière和首席科学官Nour Halawani领导。[1]公司研发的升级再造工艺通过化学混合物对回收玻纤进行清洁，修复其表面并形成保护涂层，随后采用湿法成网工艺制造出可直接替代原生玻纤的高性能无纺布。[1]
该工艺在环保方面成效显著。[1]与生产新玻璃纤维相比，其碳排放量减少80%。[1]Verretex已与Ryse Energy完成联合试验，并与ID Genève Watches在2026年3月开展合作。[1]2026年2月，公司完成了120万瑞士法郎融资。[1]此外，Verretex入选2025年《瑞士创新100强》。[1]
Verretex, a Swiss cleantech startup founded in 2025 and spun out from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne, has developed an upcycling technology that transforms recovered glass fiber into high-performance nonwoven fabric suitable as a direct replacement for virgin glass fiber[1]. The process employs a combination of chemical cleaning, surface restoration, and protective coating application, followed by a wet-laid forming technique to produce the finished nonwoven material[1].
The company, led by CEO Mitchell D. Anderson, COO Lidia Rocoffort de Vinnière, and Chief Scientific Officer Nour Halawani, has demonstrated significant environmental benefits through its innovation[1]. Compared to the production of new glass fiber, the upcycling process reduces carbon emissions by 80 percent[1]. Verretex has already completed collaborative trials with Ryse Energy and launched a partnership with ID Genève Watches beginning in March 2026[1].
The startup secured 1.2 million Swiss francs in funding in February 2026 and has been recognized as one of the top 100 innovators in Switzerland for 2025[1].
