Nicolas Menet is a Business Development Manager at Axens, where he focuses on the deployment of advanced technologies supporting the circular economy, with a particular emphasis on chemical recycling of plastics and textiles. Over the past several years, he has worked closely with brand owners, recyclers, petrochemical companies, and policymakers to accelerate the commercialization of circular plastics value chains.

At Axens, Nicolas based in Paris France, together with his colleague Jutesh GUPTA Axens India Sales Manager, is responsible for promoting and developing the company's Rewind® portfolio of recycling technologies, including depolymerization, pyrolysis, and feedstock upgrading solutions that enable the production of virgin-like recycled plastics from hard-to-recycle waste streams. He is actively involved in evaluating projects worldwide and supporting clients from early feasibility studies through technology selection and licensing.

With more than 50 years of process development and licensing expertise, Axens has licensed over 3,000 industrial units globally and is leveraging this experience to industrialize chemical recycling technologies at commercial scale. Nicolas has been closely engaged with the Indian market, supporting discussions with petrochemical producers, recyclers, brand owners, and industry associations as India advances ambitious circularity and recycled-content objectives. At PRS India, Nicolas will share insights on how proven process licensing approaches, combined with advanced chemical recycling technologies, can help bridge the gap between plastic waste generation and high-quality recycled feedstock production, enabling circularity at industrial scale.
