Circular economy
Circular economy
Our current linear ‘take-make-waste’ system use 60% more resources than the earth can generate every year. We invest in solutions that enable reuse, upcycling and recycling of waste streams to enable a circular economy.
We invest in solutions that enable reuse, upcycling and recycling of waste streams
Our linear “take-make-waste” economy is exhausting the planet’s resources. Circularity is essential to decoupling growth from extraction.
Our investment thesis
We invest in technologies that close material loops in the most resource-intensive value chains, focusing on advanced recycling, recovery of high-value materials, and circular resource inputs.
What we are looking for
- Advanced recycling of hard-to-handle waste streams
- Circular materials that replace virgin resources
- Scalable technologies with strong unit economics and feedstock security
Our investment within circular economy
We have backed founders building solutions within reusable products, upcycling and converting non-recyclable plastic fractions to a liquid chemical.
