Our team has an ongoing internal huddle throughout the year: a team meeting where we share the most disruptive and exciting startups and emerging technologies from around the world. The only rule is that they can’t solve a current client challenge directly. This way, we retain our superpower of spotting creative adjacencies and disruptive outer-horizon solutions.
Below, we share a selection of startups and technologies focusing on sustainability and environmentalism.
- Pela invented the world's first ♻️ compostable phone 📱 case, and continues to create high-quality, planet-friendly 🌍 products such as watch ⌚ straps and AirPod cases.
- FREDsense builds field kits that make water 🫗 quality analysis faster, 💰 cheaper, and more efficient ✔️ than ever before.
- Modgarden's tinyFarm 🌾 is a modular organic vegetable 🥬 growing appliance designed particularly for the urban 🌴 dweller.
- GoGo Refill is on a mission 😎 to help people find the joy in low-waste ♻️ living. They stock beautifully durable, delightfully ✔️ effective products and bulk home essentials 💡 consciously curated to lessen the need for 🍃 harmful single use plastics.
- AMP Robotics 🤖 is modernizing and scaling the world’s recycling ♻️ infrastructure by applying AI and automation to increase 📈 recycling rates and economically 🪴 recover recyclables reclaimed as raw materials for the global 🌍 supply chain.
Huddle Up With Us Around Innovation
