Case Study

Circulate Capital Logo

Creating the world’s first circular economy for plastic waste by building a scalable investment pipeline that paves the way for institutional capital.

There is no silver bullet. Solving for one of the planet’s biggest, most persistent crises – the scourge of plastic waste and its harmful effect on our oceans, our environment and the climate – calls for an entirely new playbook.

Capturing the promise of sustainable investing means championing the true change makers of tomorrow.

W

e can see the shift all around us. From climate change to infrastructure to social justice, our biggest environmental, social and governance challenges have broken through to our business, political and societal discourses like never before.

The winds may finally be in the backs of impact investors seeking to transform our society by championing investments that drive compelling financial and social outcomes.

As Wall Street and Main Street wake up to the enormous potential of multiple bottom-line investing, new entrants are crowding into the marketplace, further confusing an already noisy space. ESG investors, mainstream finance, regulators and other capital markets stakeholders struggle to distinguish the changemakers from the opportunists, promised impact outcomes from greenwashing and the investment solutions that can deliver true alpha.

For the asset managers, advisors and impact enterprises with truly innovative, investible and scalable ESG solutions, standing out from the pack has never been more difficult – or more important.

We exist to give voice to the world’s changemakers who bring the ideas and skills necessary to power the world of tomorrow.

We have been working at the heart of impact since 2013 and specialize in finding creative ways to help our clients’ innovative, differentiated solutions rise above the noise in a crowded, confusing sector.
