Humanity has become impressively good at transporting goods as fast and as efficient (read: as cheap) as possible from A to B. To protect the goods and to simplify the logistics, packaging is used. A lot of packaging. Single-use packaging. According to Milieu Centraal, an average Dutch person opens 7 of them every day! However, getting the packaging back from B to A is an unsolved problem. With PAKT, we are going to solve this! We are developing new return logistics for the collection of consumer packaging, starting with glass.

At revyve, we produce simple, sustainable ingredients from circularly sourced microbial biomass like brewers yeast. Our ingredients are highly functional and can perfectly replace E-numbers and animal ingredients. Revyves ingredients are key to revolutionising the taste and texture of alternative proteins and unlocking the future of food.

Natures Principles aims to disrupt traditional Agro-chemicals production processes through new fermentation and chemical technologies. Our first process produces high grade lactic acid, to be used for biopolymers, green solvents, food/feed and many other applications. Using proprietary platform technology based on mixed culture fermentation, we are feedstock agnostic and application agnostic, which means we utilize different residual streams on a a low-cost, low-maintenance, easy-to-operate, highly scalable production fermentation method that will then be complemented by refinery process to tackle a specific use case. We are focused on the fermentation step of lactic acid production to unlock the use of 2G residual streams as feedstock on the large scale. Our core values are integrity, empathy, accountability and sustainability. We believe traditional processes and products need to be disrupted to enable local industries with energy and CO2-neutral production. In 2030, we hope to enable cost-competitive PLA production, where PLA can compete with crude oil products such as polystyrene and polypropylene on price and quality, whilst capturing CO2. We are open for partnerships. Check in with us to start a conversation on how we can create a world were biodiversity, human and environmental needs coexist in a balanced way.

De Clique levert een totaaloplossing door gescheiden organische reststromen zoals koffiedik, snij - en voedselresten bij bedrijven en horeca in stedelijk gebieden CO2-neutraal op te halen. Het helpt haar klanten bij de scheiding van de stromen en zorgt er voor dat reststromen gebruikt kunnen worden als grondstoffen voor nieuwe producten. Deze producten worden ontwikkeld met partners en op eigen locatie, waar ook de verwerking, opslag en overslag plaatsvindt. Een deel van de producten wordt terug verkocht aan de klanten van De Clique. Zo ontstaat er een hyperlokale circulaire keten, waarbij grondstoffen uit de stad de basis vormen voor nieuwe producten voor de stad. De Clique is 2019 begonnen in Utrecht, waar het een blauwdruk ontwikkelt voor opschaling naar andere stedelijke gebieden.

Some say we’re changing the game, some say we’re heroes and others might say we’re just totally bananas. We’d like to say we’re just one hundred percent set on challenging the current food industry. One banana at a time. Sure, we’re turning otherwise discarded bananas into the most delicious food products. And yes, we’re really shaking things up in the outdated baked goods industry. But who knew we could gain so much awareness and actually change peoples habits around food waste with our products. As we grew, our plans grew too. That’s why we’re opening worlds first ever Banana Factory where rejected bananas will be upcycled into ’no waste banana puree’. A unique raw material for our own products, but also the easiest switch to sustainability for a lot of (banana-based) food producers. We changed the game, you make the change!

We accelerate innovation. We aim to unlock the potential of new business ideas by facilitating great success or fast failure. Our focus is on cleantech innovations: industrial solutions that support the transition to a more sustainable world. Companies ask for our expertise and hands-on mentality to bring new business ideas to market and increase the return on innovation. Together with (governmental) organisations we set-up advanced startup/scale-up accelerator programs like Mobility Lab. Cleantech startups ask for our investments, network and coaching role. We do this, not as consultants, but as entrepreneurs, interim innovators and investors. These roles provide us with a unique and valuable combination of perspectives and network.
