Recirculate Systems secures backing from angel investors to roll out its RFID-enabled reusable cup system.
"Around 2.5 billion coffee cups are thrown away each year in the UK alone, with terrible consequences for the environment. The problem is that single-use cups are so convenient. While people like the idea of recycling, current systems involve so much time and effort that it deters all but the most committed."
The funding round was backed by Carbon Direct Capital, Lightrock, GenZero, and Kibo Investments following the company going private.
"production capacity and leadership team"
Bollegraaf backed the round with a strategic cash investment and intellectual property transfer.
"With 63 years of industry experience, Bollegraaf continues to be a global leader in fully automated innovative turnkey recycling systems. The future is clear: to further increase recycling rates we need more insight and collaboration across the value chain. We have been looking to implement AI that can power fact-based and automated decision making to provide our clients with a much more accurate overview of their waste composition and ultimately maximise their ROI. We are thrilled to make this strategic investment and partner with Greyparrot to bring waste intelligence to both upcoming recycling infrastructure deployments and existing facilities worldwide. We believe that Bollegraaf’s comprehensive knowledge of automation of recycling MRF operations, premium equipment quality, and unique engineering expertise empowered with Greyparrot AI systems represent the one-of-a kind synergy that is destined for success."
The funding round was backed by climate change focused investors including OnePlanetCapital.
"We are delighted to support Terrafend in this raise. It is a really environmentally impactful business with an impressive pipeline of global corporate customers"
Clean Growth Fund backed the Cambridge biotechnology startup to accelerate the commercial rollout of its HBx biofuel.
"Clean Growth Fund’s investment in HutanBio, coupled with the strong commercial interest in HBx now being shown by potential customers from around the world, is hugely exciting and underlines the company’s massive potential. We have been patient and rigorous in our scientific work to ensure that HBx is market-ready, demonstrating the world-class expertise and tenacity of our team. We believe that HBx unlocks the biofuel puzzle, with the capability to produce a cost-effective biofuel an order of magnitude greater than any other oil-crop."
