About
Lasers are the ‘Tesla of printing’. Hardly any moving parts, zero fluid consumption and yet 100% ready for the digital age and Industry 4.0.
EKYW wants to fully utilize the laser’s potential and demonstrate it as a viable alternative to chemicals such as: ink, glue (stickers), pesticides, herbicides and cleaning-products. Backed by academia, recyclers and producers alike it is safe to say that lasers are the future.
Edwin Kroon has a background in biology and dreams of copying nature’s nanostructures on everyday items. From bacteria-killing butterfly wings on a doorknob, to Namibian Desert Beetle to promote the foaming of beer, a laser can recreate functional 3D-nanostructures on any material.
Mission
EKYW believes that lasers have much more potential than is utilized and is determined to unlock those to improve everyday life.
​
This potential is unlocked by performing practical experiments with scientific literature as backing and biomimicry as a great source of inspiration.
Vision
EKYW envisions a bright future, illuminated by laser-light. A laser has virtually an infinite number of applications that individually all have the power to massively improve our daily lives, starting with safer food on everybody's plate.
