What we do

We prioritize and invest in ‘recycle, recapture, and reuse’ because reducing the extraction of materials from the earth, and better recycling what exists already, is achievable right now.

We do this with metals (Mint Innovation and Green Li-on), and we do this with plastics (Nilo and CRDC).

How we
do it

We source opportunities from our worldwide network and partner with the world’s best sustainable tech venture firms. Our team brings decades of successful venture-building expertise and global leadership in sustainability best practices.
‍
We don’t just invest in founders and companies – we work with them to accelerate their growth and amplify their impact, through our proprietary UN-backed impact monitoring and management.
‍
We help our venture portfolio companies scale in Asian markets, including Japan. And we can provide synergies with our investments in listed companies.

Our team

We are a team of investors, business builders, and circular economy experts. This diversity helps us discover opportunities others might miss.
