Company Information
Veridis is a deep-tech startup developing a novel instrument to improve quality control in plastic recycling: MADSCAN®. This MADSCAN® technology is a thermal analysis technique. This technology can be used to analyse plastics/polymers to give a material characterisation (material type, degradation, etc.). With our MADSCAN® technology we scale up the sample size from conventional technologies by a factor 100.000. This allows us to give a representative analysis of large batches of plastics, thereby increasing the relevance to the recycling industry. With this method we are able to analyse dark plastics, detect material degradation, and most importantly we directly increase the commercial value of recycled plastics.
Veridis has the ambitious goal to create a better future through science and technology. We are trying to create a place of work where scientists and engineers can develop technical opportunities for the benefit of society and climate. To achieve these objectives we are offering an internship with flexible working hours, an informal atmosphere, and a lot of independence and responsibility.
Assignment Description
Prepare, test and analyse real life plastic waste samples. Join in improving the material preparation and test methods on our MADSCAN® technology. Researching the effects of different factors on the sample preparation and measurement results, and expanding our material database with polymer types not yet measured by Veridis.
