Investing in Safer Chemistry
After seven years of pioneering early-stage investments in safer chemistry innovation, we look forward to sharing what we have learned along the way, and discuss how can we further support detoxification and the adoption of safer chemistries and materials.
Topics will include:
- What drives the development and adoption of safer chemistry innovation?
- What are the major safer chemistry innovation themes?
- Where does safer chemistry innovation come from?
- Where does funding for safer chemistry innovation come from?
- How do we navigate thousands of new chemistries and recognize discrete opportunities?
- What kind of technical due diligence process we use?
- What are some of the specific risks we see and how to we manage them?
- What is the role of regulation in safer chemistry?
- The potential impact of single use bans and extended producer responsibility (EPR) legislation on packaging materials.
- Investment opportunities that could reduce plastic pollution.
- Progress removing PFAS from apparel.
