Costco, Albertsons and Republic Services are using Smarter Sorting to unlock waste & emissions reduction potential.

VitroLabs aims to design animal farming out of leather production. They have engineered a cell-cultivated product that begins with a cow biopsy to harvest just a few cells. Using a specialized bioreactor along with the right nutrients and signals, those few seed cells become an animal hide in just a few weeks. That hide can then move straight to the tanning process, significantly reducing the environmental impact. The process is also much more favorable for animal welfare.
General Partner Michael Smith states “exceptional companies are continuing to get good funding,” and we look forward to supercharging top climate innovations across the consumer landscape.
