The Water-Borne INVISU™ 7007 Emulsion is a formulated, high solids wash
off label dispersion designed to enhance the recyclability of primary
containers. It helps improve mechanical recycling yield and quality
without compromising on filmic label adhesion expectations. It has been
granted recognition by the Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR).

Axalta has developed an eco-friendly and low hazard insulating varnish
for magnet wires in motors, transformers and generators. It enables
efficient electrical devices and drives electrification in many areas of
daily life. The high-performance material is easy to process, reduces
risk to workers and contributes to an improved carbon footprint.

Axalta’s innovative coating system reduces energy consumption by 21% and
reduces CO2 emissions by 5% or 17 Kg per unit produced. The novel
sustainable coating technology provides manufacturing flexibility while
maintaining superior appearance. This emissions reduction is equivalent
to eliminating 15,000-20,000 vehicles just from roads in the US.

Detecting a wildfire in its initial few minutes is critical. We can’t
prevent wildfires, but can help prevent them from becoming costly
mega-scale fires and significantly reduce the risk of casualty, property
damage, and carbon pollution. VELAR can detect fires in their infancy
within a few seconds and produces an actionable alert in real-time.

We develop and operate SAR satellites for Earth observation in
all-weather conditions, day or night. We also offer specialized SAR data
analysis and AI solutions to mitigate global challenges, from mapping
and monitoring weather-related disasters to bolstering national security
and enabling greater global transparency.

GHGSat’s patented high-resolution technology can detect industrial CO2
emissions from space helping operators of steel mills, refineries, power
plants and petrochemical complexes access to independent, accurate and
globally standardized emissions monitoring data for the first time.

Terabase Energy’s Terafab™ is the world’s first automated,
robotics-assisted, digital field factory for PV module and tracker
assembly, designed to accelerate the construction and deployment of
large-scale solar power plants to meet the Terawatt scale demands of the
future.

RHOBARR™ 135 Emulsion is a waterborne acrylic barrier coating for
paper-based food packaging. This product is globally food contact
compliant, microwave and oven-safe, and combines strong oil and grease
resistance with anti-block performance to enable double-sided coating
for recyclable single-use food packaging without the use of
fluorocarbons.

EcoSense™ 2470 surfactant is made using a novel platform that leverages
biology to capture and convert carbon emissions into sustainable raw
materials, that do not compromise on performance. The product displaces
virgin fossil resources and does not impact biodiversity or land use.

Harvest Thermal redesigns home heating and hot water for a livable
planet. Its smart thermal battery decarbonizes homes by slashing carbon
emissions from the biggest user of energy inside the home. It scales by
reducing monthly heating costs and makes the grid more resilient by
utilizing the cleanest, cheapest off-peak electricity.
