Fast track sustainable product innovation
At Better Future Factory we believe in more doing and less talking. We are driven by the urgent need to close material loops and reduce CO2 footprints. But our pragmatic approach defines us. From concept to production, we prioritize usability, sustainability and design.
Our services
Product development
We blend design thinking, creativity and technical skills to transform innovative ideas into practical solutions. Our approach pushes boundaries and solves complex challenges with engineering precision. Ideation, prototyping, setting up scalable production – we make it work. We can work alongside your team or take on the full product development process, allowing you to focus on your core priorities.
Prototyping & testing
We believe in a hands-on approach, emphasizing early-stage prototyping and testing. With our own prototyping workshop, we quickly validate ideas to sharpen your innovation and product development, saving you time and resources. Let us help you test and refine your concept.
Setting up production
What truly sets us apart is our deep expertise in sustainable materials, along with a trusted network of manufacturers who are equally committed to sustainability. Our multidisciplinary team collaborates closely to ensure that every detail is thoughtfully considered. From the initial concept to the final assembled product, we guide our clients through every step of the process. If necessary, we can even develop custom production techniques to guarantee success.
Product optimization
An existing product can also be the starting point of a project. Optimizing a product for factors like function, production costs or sustainability.
Sustainable Plastic R&D
Recycled, recyclable, biobased, biodegradable. Plastics and sustainability is a complicated topic. We help our clients apply plastics in line with the circular economy for plastics
Sustainability expertise for product development
With over 12 years of experience leading the way in sustainable innovation, Better Future Factory was pioneering long before the circular economy became a buzzword. We developed the world’s first recycled 3D printing filament and created groundbreaking products that have empowered our clients to secure their own patents. Our expertise lies in accelerating sustainable product development, ensuring your products stay relevant today and resilient for the challenges of tomorrow.

The circular economy
To achieve a circular economy, it’s essential to ensure that materials are part of a closed-loop system. At Better Future Factory, we follow the principles established by the renowned Ellen MacArthur Foundation to make this vision a reality.
The circular economy for plastic
As specialists in plastics, we align with the circular economy framework for plastics developed by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, as illustrated in the image to the right.

CO2 footprint
While the circular economy focuses on minimizing waste and keeping materials in use, it doesn’t specifically address CO2 footprint reduction. That’s why, at Better Future Factory, we integrate circular economy principles into our work and place a strong emphasis on reducing CO2 emissions. We use tools like Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) early in the development process to compare materials and assess their environmental impact. This approach allows us to make informed decisions that ensure our solutions are both sustainable and environmentally comprehensive.
