INVESTMENT ANNOUNCEMENT: Why we are backing the end of microplastics in hygiene products. 📣 Did you know that every single minute, approximately 300,000 disposable nappies are thrown away globally? 🤯 The waste volume is shocking enough, but the chemistry behind it is the hidden killer. To make these products absorbent, they rely on synthetic Superabsorbent Polymers (SAPs). These are fossil-based, non-biodegradable, and break down into persistent microplastics that contaminate our soil and water. It is a massive, invisible environmental disaster. That is why we arethrilled to announce our latest investment at Triple Impact Ventures: We are backing A&B Smart Materials in their oversubscribed £1.5M Pre-Seed round! 🚀 Why did we invest? 1️⃣ The problem is huge: The SAP market is projected to reach $17.6 billion by 2035. The industry needs a sustainable alternative. 2️⃣ The solution scales: A&B is developing bio-based polymers that are fully biodegradable but offer the same performance as fossil-based incumbents—at a competitive cost. 3️⃣ The Founders: Amaury van Trappen de Buggenoms and Dr. Benjamin White stood out immediately. They combine world-class Oxford science with a crystal-clear commercial vision and refreshing honesty about the challenges ahead. This is exactly the kind of "systems change" we look for: Moving away from fossil fuels to a circular economy without compromising on performance. Huge congratulations to the entire team! We are delighted to co-invest alongside great partners like Sake Bosch, Caesar Ventures, LIVING HOPE VC, and others. Let's get to work! 🌱💧 #ImpactInvesting #CircularEconomy #Microplastics #DeepTech #VentureCapital #ClimateTech #Oxford
