Presenting Katapult Ocean 2024-wave 🌊 Treeconomy - Leveraging technology to quantify, track, and enable carbon removal at scale. Why we invested; The world urgently needs to increase carbon dioxide removal to meet Net Zero targets. The voluntary carbon market, despite existing for over 20 years, struggles with low-quality credits, low prices, and limited impact. Mangrove restoration projects face challenges securing upfront funding. There is a supply-demand mismatch: buyers hesitate to commit without reliable outcomes, and developers struggle to expand without funding. Katapult Ocean supports Treeconomy, which uses remote sensing and AI to accurately quantify carbon in ecosystems, increasing trust, prices, and funding for nature restoration projects. If you're an investor and would like to know more about Treeconomy, please sign up for our Investor Day on December 10th https://lnkd.in/gyKP3Mmk Harry Grocott, Robert Godfrey, Charlie Roper Ord, Matt Amos, Emily Houston, Jonas Skattum Svegaarden, Ross Brooks, Sam Selig, Anthony Bellafiore, Ingrid H.

Presenting Katapult Ocean 2024-wave 🌊 We're proud to present the companies we are investing in and accelerating this autumn. First company out is Neptune Nanotechnologies Inc. Neptune Nanotech turns organic fishing waste into powerful nano materials that solves the sustainability and performance challenges of the plastics, composites and packaging industries. Why we invested Several industries, including pulp and paper, epoxy, and plastics, struggle to balance material properties with sustainability. Harsh chemicals often enhance durability but compromise strength, weight, and environmental impact. Eco-friendly alternatives tend to underperform in effectiveness, sustainability, and cost efficiency, highlighting the need for innovative materials. Katapult Ocean supports Neptune Nanotechnologies, which addresses this issue by converting fishing waste into high-value chitin nanocrystals (CNC). These biodegradable, non-toxic CNCs replace traditional chemical additives, improve performance, and reduce reliance on petroleum-based materials, lowering greenhouse gas emissions and promoting a circular economy. If you want to learn more about Neptune Nanotech, sign up for our Investor Day December 10th https://lnkd.in/gyKP3Mmk Aaron Guan, Ross Brooks, Kabir P., Anthony Bellafiore, Sam Selig, Jonas Skattum Svegaarden, Ingrid H.

🎉 Celebrating Pinovo's Milestone 🎉 We are thrilled to share Pinovo’s big achievement of launching the first Clean Blasting project in the food industry alongside Toro, a subsidiary of Orkla Foods Norge AS!🏆 This milestone marks an important step toward sustainable surface maintenance with CLEAN methods of paint and corrosion removal, setting a new standard for clean and safe operations. The clean spot blasting on painted steel beams, floors, and tanks has been successfully completed and will now be a key part of Toro's ongoing maintenance program, stopping microplastics from entering the environment and our foods. 🙌 We look forward to continuing to work with Declan Mc Adams and Pinovo on their impactful journey. Pinovo's commitment to creating a cleaner world and safer working conditions is truly inspiring -- excited to see more breakthroughs in the future! 🌊 💙
Clean Blasting is now being used for surface maintenance in the Food Industry! A first for Pinovo and for Toro 🥇 , and confirmation of the switch to CLEAN methods of paint and corrosion removal! Toro has, since 1946, made its way into every Norwegian home as a manufacturer of soups, sauces and similar products. It is a subsidiary of Orkla Foods Norge AS and one of their biggest brands. As you can imagine, for Toro, hygiene is mission critical in all aspects of production and maintenance, for food safety reasons. So, a clean dustless solution like Pinovo’s fits the bill! Glad to say that the clean spot blasting undertaken with Pinovo’s technology, on the painted steel beams, floors and tanks in Toro's production facilities in Arne, near Bergen, was successfully completed, and will be continued in their ongoing maintenance programme. 🎩 Hats off to Toro for leading the way in the food industry, and for choosing the sustainable surface maintenance solution! We would like to thank Toro/Orkla Foods Norge AS, and KTV Group AS for their confidence in our clean blasting technology 🙏 . #PaintIsPlastic #SDG14 #PaintMicroplastics #SaveOurOcean #GlobalPlasticsTreaty #Biz4PlasticsTreaty UpLink - World Economic Forum Global Plastic Action Partnership Katapult Ocean Ocean Impact Organisation Solar Impulse Foundation REV Ocean Minderoo Foundation OCEANOVATION Anders Guttormsen
