2022 Cohort
MAYANI
Mayani is an agri-fisheries platform building a sustainable pathway to market for the Philippines' 10 million smallholder farmers and fishers.
The agri-fisheries marketplace directly sources agri-fisheries products from smallholder farmers and fishers and distributes it downstream to the market in a sustainable and digital value chain
Nuvoe
Access to potable water, even across the Western world, is becoming increasingly difficult due to ageing infrastructure, pollution and a decrease of supply with increase of demand.
Nuvoe is building a range of products to deliver personalised, crafted mineral water from any source in the world, all while trying to eliminate single-use plastic bottles.
RiverRecycle
RiverRecycle aims to stop ocean plastic pollution by implementing river plastic recovery, land-based collection, mechanical recycling, and chemical recycling to create value from otherwise ‘low-value’ plastic waste. By converting this plastic to oil, we produce feedstock that can be used to replace virgin materials in plastic production.
RiverRecycle’s projects are designed to support the transition to circular economy, ensuring that existing plastic waste is recovered and future plastic can remain in circulation for longer.
Saathi
Saathi is a social enterprise that manufactures 100% biodegradable and compostable sanitary pads from banana and bamboo fibers. Their mission is to create hygiene products that are good for the body, community and the environment in a sustainable and responsible way.
Saathi are building a model for sustainable manufacturing that not only addresses waste but also ethical sourcing and supply chains which can work to alleviate poverty.
Skyology
Skyology captures CO2 from the atmosphere and uses it to restore ocean health.
They use proprietary georeactor technology to convert mining waste and atmospheric CO2 into a mild and safe form of ocean alkalinity.
Uuvipak
Uuvipak upcycles clean organic food waste into single-use plastic alternatives, such as takeaway containers, cups and cutlery. Uuvipak products are designed to eradicate pollution from single-use plastics and other packaging materials.
The products are not only home compostable, but also edible. Unlike most biodegradable products available on the market, these products decompose naturally within a few weeks. There are no chemical additives, so the products don’t leave any traces in the environment.
