Who
We are passionate about the impact of our company as we enable future generations to enjoy a green planet in prosperity and happiness.
At Fuenix we share a common, deep sense of responsibility towards future generations. We leverage knowledge, skills, collaboration and technology to develop innovative, practical solutions that will contribute to solving the global plastic waste problem.

Carlijn Maessen
A start-up company as we are, requires a very special team of people. Each day may come with new challenges and everything we do is relatively new. This is why I love our team so much. We are positive, resilient and passionate about what we do: we make a change!
Jan Vaas
While the company focuses on optimising its unique chemical recycling technology, it is clear that at the same time we need to understand the entire value chain. We know all about safe and compliant transportation and handling of both waste and end products.
Wendy van Essen
With our technology we are closing the gap between the waste industry and the petrochemical industry. It is great to build relationships with people and companies from the value chain that are equally driven to have that impact on the plastic waste problem. We face challenges, we learn and move forward.
With co-ceo’s Tom Housmans and Fabio Rodriguez, the leadership of Fuenix is in good hands. Besides of their passion for the company and drive to make the world a better place, they bring decades of valuable experience to take Fuenix forward.
Co- Chief Executive Officer and Chief Technology Officer
Tom is responsible for technology developments and operations at Fuenix.
“Fabio and I think differently but share the same values. Next to styles, we bring different experiences and skills to the table. We also share a clear understanding that the success of Fuenix is above individual success. The combination of different skills, expertise and styles in a co-leadership model ensures that we debate and select the best decisions for our company.”
Co- Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
Fabio is responsible for the financial management and commercialization of Fuenix technology.
“The co-leadership with Tom was something that evolved naturally from our constructive relationship. I would not suggest this model works for all entrepreneurs. Tom and I have a very open, collaborative approach that sets up apart. We motivate open, “difficult” conversations as we know the positive impact that challenging each other has on Fuenix.”
