Creating radical change
Investing in circular economy solutions to transform Asia and the rest of the world.
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).
What is a Circular Economy?
According to the Macarthur Foundation, the circular economy is based on three principles, driven by design:
- Eliminate waste & pollution
- Circulate products & materials (at their highest value)
- Circulate products & materials (at their highest value)
It is underpinned by a transition to renewable energy and materials. A circular economy decouples economic activity from the consumption of finite resources. It is a resilient system that is good for business, people and the environment.
Circular economy solutions – like those created by our portfolio companies Nilo, Mint Innovation and Zincovvery – help tackle the urgent problems of now.
