BOMBSHELL: French Cleantech Startup Calyxia on Path to Profitability Amidst Microplastic Pandemic
Get ready for a revolution in the world of sustainability! Calyxia, a French cleantech startup, has just raised a whopping $35 million Series B round, paving the way for industrial-scale production of its groundbreaking sustainable alternatives to microparticles and microcapsules. And CEO Jamie Walters is just getting started.
The Shocking Truth: Microplastics Are Everywhere, Including Inside Our Bodies and Brains
Microplastics are choking our planet, from the Arctic to our own bodies. Yes, you read that right – they’re even entering our bloodstream and brains! The traditional production methods employed by the materials and chemical industries are wreaking havoc on the environment. It’s time to green up industrial manufacturing processes before it’s too late.
Calyxia’s Mission: Become the Global Leader in Microparticles and Microcapsules, Then Transform the Industrial Chemical Industry
Walters is on a mission to dominate the microparticles and microcapsules market, with a target of capturing 10% of the $10 billion market by 2030. And once that’s achieved, Calyxia will aim to revolutionize the entire industrial chemical industry.
The Science Behind Calyxia’s Technology
Calyxia’s sustainable microparticles and microcapsules offer a game-changing solution to manufacturers, enabling them to swap out dirty processes for clean ones. Its advanced materials division has developed microcapsule technology that can be added to other materials to improve their wear-resistance, preventing microplastics from being produced in the first place.
Calyxia’s Customer List: A Who’s Who of Household Brands
The startup boasts a client list of over 20 top-tier industrial blue chip companies, including major household brands that want to tout microplastics-free products to their consumers. And with new regulations like the European Union’s October 2023 law restricting the use of microplastics, Calyxia is poised to reap the benefits.
Reducing Energy Use: The Future of Sustainable Manufacturing
Calyxia’s advanced materials division has developed a novel technology that alters the polymerization process, reducing energy use and greenhouse gas emissions from production. Manufacturers can reduce temperatures by up to 8 degrees C, improving economics and reducing their carbon footprint.
The Future of Sustainability: Calyxia’s Ambitious Plans
With its sights set on becoming the global leader in microparticles and microcapsules, Calyxia is poised to revolutionize the industrial chemical industry. But Walters isn’t stopping there – he wants to transform the entire industry, using Calyxia’s technology to create a more sustainable future for generations to come.
