About Bixente

I support companies in their R&D projects to design innovative products and services while integrating a responsible and sustainable approach.

I help them test and prototype their ideas, physically or virtually, ensuring that each solution is eco-designed and environmentally friendly from the outset.

Formerly a research engineer specializing in recycling and product end-of-life, I developed the Unlinear method, which integrates all dimensions of the circular economy from the design stage. This approach has been tested and approved by major brands in the textile and sporting goods sectors.

👉 What I offer:

Consulting and support for your R&D and product innovation projects.

Eco-design and prototyping (physical or virtual) to reduce environmental impact and accelerate development.

Training and workshops for R&D, design, and innovation teams.

Provision of a circular design software to facilitate the integration of sustainable criteria from the design stage.

💡 Why choose me:

-A scientific and pragmatic approach based on applied research in recycling and product durability.

-Concrete and proven methodologies in the textile and sports industry.

-The ability to transform environmental constraints into opportunities for innovation and differentiation.

🎯 My goal: to help you innovate sustainably, secure your R&D projects, and transform your ideas into responsible solutions with high added value.

    Unlinear is a method for (re)designing a product by integrating the technical requirements of the circular economy to enable it to enter end-of-life valorization streams: reuse, repair, recycling. The method draws on lessons learned from research work on the dismantling and end-of-life of textile articles, footwear, and bags.
