C-biotech
The main goal of C-biotech is to provide sustainable solutions for the building sector, cities and society as a whole. With hemp, C-biotech remediates historical contaminated soils (e.g. PFOS, heavy metals) in an ecological and natural way. We use this industrial hemp as a biorefinery to produce biomass that can be used in isolation materials, hempwood, cladding as well as in engineered solutions such as charging stations and traffic poles among others. This ways, we ensure that remediation also pays off for the farmer that cannot use contaminated land for harvesting crops.
Join our team
As an employee of C-biotech, you will join the Cordeel family with a fine mix of young talent and experienced professionals. Just like with our customers, we attach great importance to a long-term relationship with you.
Moreover, as a company we strive to become the ‘happiest company to work for’ and do everything we can to be a good employer for our (future) employees.
