Atarraya’s Shrimpbox revolutionizes aquaculture with AI &
biotechnology in a modular system. This innovative solution yields fresh
shrimp globally, cuts costs, and triples shelf life. It’s scalable,
adaptable, and promises top-quality shrimp without chemicals,
epitomizing eco-friendly shrimp farming.

Strive FREEMILK is a first-of-its-kind Animal-Free Dairy Milk created
using Whey Protein made through Precision Fermentation. It is nutritious
and truly sustainable, without compromising on taste, flavor, and
texture.

Spira Blue is a temperature and acid stable natural blue pigment that
can be used as a dye in everything from sports drinks to blue jeans.
This means that it is a direct replacement for harmful petrochemical
dyes that lead to carcinogenic effects.

LISIC is a solid-state material which replaces the flammable
liquid-state electrolyte inside of rechargeable lithium batteries to
realize immense safety and performance improvements. Most importantly,
LISIC is a drop-in solution — it integrates into existing battery
gigafactories at high volume and zero cost of implementation.

The ultra-high-rate Z5 13-90 nickel-zinc battery generates a remarkable
50% increase in current over ZincFives current 13-80 NiZn battery,
delivering best-in-class power density as well as superior safety and
sustainability for mission critical backup like data centers, generator
starting, peak shaving for EV charging and pulse power applications.

Li-juvenator boosts EV battery life by 4x using our proprietary pulse
charging technology. This reduces impedance, eliminating dendrites and
harmful direct current impedance. This means longer EV travel, a
significant reduction in battery waste, and safer, sustainable batteries
by preventing overcharge explosions.

The automotive industry seeks urgently sustainable solutions to reduce
carbon emissions and become more circular. Dow Polyurethanes
MobilityScience has developed innovative circular closed loop solutions
using advanced chemical recycling. SPECFLEX CIR is a circular feedstock
sourced from waste of the mobility sector that replaces virgin fossil

Consumers can now see their discarded mattresses achieve multiple lives
via the RENUVA™ Mattress Recycling Program. Key partnerships have been
established to create the world’s first industrial scale reactor for
end-of-life polyurethane foam recycling, producing a circular material
having exceptional end-use performance.

In 2023, Gen Phoenix developed a new recycled leather material with the
highest level of recycled content to date (77%) in a partnership with
Coachtopia, a Coach sub-brand with a mission to accelerate the adoption
of a more circular economy. In under a year, Gen Phoenix developed,
launched and scaled this material across the full Coachtopia line.
