For Membrion, this includes recovering water from challenging wastewater streams, which is action supporting numerous United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

“Membrion is thrilled to collaborate with the 100+ Accelerator, where we have the ability to pilot our solutions within one of the sponsors’ supply chains and recover about 98% of their wastewater. This is a win-win because it saves money and helps the facilities achieve their sustainability goals,” said Greg Newbloom, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Membrion. “We have a shared commitment to develop the most advanced and innovative approaches for providing green solutions for supply chains.”

Since 2018, this competitive programme aims to fuel the growth of startups developing critical sustainability solutions. The 100+ Accelerator is co-sponsored by Colgate-Palmolive, Anheuser-Busch Inbev, Coca-Cola, and Unilever. By providing funding for select startup pilots, the partners test and validate each solution, which enables partners to scale and transform their global supply chains. Such collaborative partnerships allow industries to work together using their scale, resources, and purchasing power to fuel sustainable innovation. 

Membrion is addressing the compelling problem of creating greater circularity for all resources. These solutions are seeing increasing adoption because they are flexible, customisable and can be integrated into existing industrial facilities as a sustainable solution for wastewater. Once integrated, they expand capacity, meet compliance rules, and reduce costs – delivering impressive returns on investment.

A demo day to be held in October 2024 will highlight the myriad projects and innovations of all the 100+ Accelerator participants.
