As a B2B enterprise, we provide cutting-edge and eco-friendly material pellets, seamlessly tailored for diverse sectors including fashion, outdoor equipment and tools. Overall, our material has a Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) 60 % lower compared to conventional plastics and we aim to save over 100,000 tons of CO2 in the coming years – the equivalent of planting 5 million trees!

Litech
Litech provides clarity to a fragmented and potentially explosive waste stream. We have developed what we believe to be the world’s smartest metal detector for the waste industry. Our technology utilizes electromagnetic induction spectroscopy on a multispectral frequency to distinguish and classify various metals based on their unique magnetic signatures. By employing AI, we can classify metal alloys, even when objects are buried under layers of waste. This allows us to detect and remove dangerous items, such as lithium-ion batteries and gas containers, which frequently cause fires and explosions in waste facilities (often on a daily basis).
