Regeneration is mission critical to the evolution of capitalism & humanity

Extraction and pollution have been normalized over the past 100+ years. It’s time to partner with nature to develop sustainable, resilient supply chains.

A Natural Progression

The evolution from green energy to green materials

The race to lowest cost production means we have sacrificed emissions, toxins, and pollutants for profit. If we want to transition toward a more sustainable future, we can't ignore the $5.5T+ materials industry. The only way to exceed emissions targets is through reliable supply chains of sustainable materials.

Optimizing For Regeneration

We focus on increasing the adoption of feedstocks that can be quickly regenerated by planet earth.

Bio-based Feedstocks

Crops, mushrooms, algae, microbes, and enzymes can create the products we know and love.

Waste Feedstocks

Agriculture, industrial, food, and textile waste create opportunities for large emission reductions.

Recycled Feedstocks

Recycled plastic, metal, glass, paper, and building materials create local circularity across the world.
Sustainable Solutions Are Nuanced

Commercializing sustainable materials (and other clean technologies) can cost a lot of time and money

Sustainability mandates will require companies to find alternative materials to reduce scope 3 emissions. We solve problems for producers and consumers of sustainable materials.

Multiple Stakeholders

Companies that buy raw materials have many departments that all care about different things.

  • R&D = Performance

    Material scientists and mechanical engineers are looking to determine if an alternative material can meet the required properties (mechanical, thermal, electrical, physical, chemical, optical, magnetic, etc).

  • Sustainablility = CO2

    Sustainability departments care about carbon footprint reduction, responsible sourcing, and the message the company gets to tell its stakeholders (with approval from marketing, legal, communications, etc).

  • Procurement = Price

    The procurement team cares about how much materials cost, how much they weigh, how they're shipped, and how you scale. Procurement teams need to understand how you become a reliable supplier.

Externalities Beyond CO2

Communicating other side effects of using or replacing a material creates unique anchors.

  • Reducing Pollutants

    Creating materials from petrochemicals releases pollutants like Arsenic, Mercury, Lead, Benzene, Formaldehyde, Methane, Sulfur Dioxide, Nitrogen Oxides, Carbon Monoxide, VOC’s, Uranium, and other types of particulate matter. Reducing these pollutants is important.

  • Reducing Toxins

    Exposure to most household chemicals disrupts our body's hormone production and natural rythm. Reducing these toxins is important.

  • Unknown Unknowns

    Figure out the unique angles that your product adds value to the world. This can be all the little benefits that your solution provides to the world.

3rd Grade Language

Seize the opportunity to take really complex topics and explain them in a way that is repeatable & unique.

  • Easy to Understand

    Can an elementary schooler understand what you do and how it works?

  • Repeatable

    Can someone repeat what you do to a coworker or family member? If not, how do you expect word to spread?

  • Memorable

    Is what you're saying memorable? If not, it will just blend in and become another 'me too' type of offering.

Multi Material

A complete material transition is only possible with dozens of sustainable alternatives.

  • Plastics & Additives

    Most plastics and additives are made from hydrocarbons (coal, oil, nat gas). These materials are very strong, very light, and very cheap.

  • Metals & Minerals

    Metals and minerals are typically heavy, energy intensive, transportation inefficient, extracted resources.

  • Building Materials

    The built environment needs sustainable alternatives across hundreds of different types of products. It's time to systematically reduce embodied carbon.

Long Timeline

Companies can take many years to find, test, & commercialize new materials & products.

  • Hard To Find

    Suppliers of sustainable materials are often not world class marketers. These companies could also be on the other side of the earth. Locating suppliers can be time and energy intensive.

  • Long Testing Que

    Large companies have lots of materials that needed to get tested yesterday. New materials can sit in line for many months (or longer) before R&D teams have the time and resources to dive deeper.

  • Iterative Process

    Testing new materials requires a feedback loop from the consumer of the material back to the producer of the material. Often times there are adjustments to formulations and processing conditions that are required for optimal performance.

High Costs

Sustainable material innovations can cost millions in R&D if not managed properly.

  • Dedicated Labor

    The people at R&D labs who call the shots are well compensated. Experts at these R&D labs include materials scientists, mechanical engineers, polymer chemists, chemical engineers, and other types of scientists, engineers, and mathematicians.

  • Dedicated Equipment

    The equipment required to run tests on new materials is expensive to acquire (and run). Often times, a company will have to use commercial equipment to run tests.

  • Opportunity Cost

    If they are working on your material, they are dedicating resources that could be going to another material. A company only has so much bandwidth, so you are oftentimes competing with other innovations for the same time, money, and energy.
