At Archireef, we believe that active restoration and nature-positivity are critical components for the future of our marine ecosystems, from shorelines to coral reefs. As a nature tech company, we focus on the restoration of coral reefs. Our Reef Tiles serve as a substrate to corals, accelerating their recovery in particularly challenged geographies. Our ultimate mission is to create coral highways and build a global network of substrates to help save and recover coral reefs around the world. Our purpose is to restore degraded marine ecosystem through a science-led approach.

SepPure Technologies creates sustainable nanofiltration solutions to separate chemical mixtures at a molecular level with minimal energy use. Up to 15% of the world’s total energy is spent on industrial-scale chemical separations. This is economically and environmentally inefficient. SepPure Technologies is disrupting the energy-intensive chemical separation processes, such as distillation and evaporation, through the introduction of novel chemical-resistant nanofiltration membranes. SepPure Technologies’ sustainable process does not use heat, thus lowering global energy use, emissions, and pollution substantially.
