AKIN

Over AKIN

AKIN (previously Akin Solutions) is developing Kinfinity™, a platform for recovering individual materials from complex end-of-life streams. Starting with end-of-life tyres, meaning rubber, carbon black and isoprenoids.

Vulcanised rubber cannot be melted back, so recovering it means separating a mixture rather than remelting a material. Through Kinfinity Recovery, AKIN is developing enzymatic separation of shredded rubber into virgin-like rubber, recovered carbon black (rCB) and isoprenoid co-products, designed to integrate at the end of existing recycling lines. AKIN's Kinfinity Imaging services provide molecular characterisation of rubber materials to recyclers and compounders.

AKIN's proprietary enzyme variants have demonstrated breakdown of polyisoprene at benchtop scale. Work on end-of-life tyre material is ongoing.

Founded in 2023, AKIN is based at Biotech Campus Delft in the Netherlands. akin.bio
