“Implementing AI into our R&D process means we can optimise Polaris™ production for use in an incredibly wide range of applications and tailor it to our customers’ needs.” Our CEO Jacqueline Ros Amable talked to Springwise about using #AI to create less toxic and less carbon intensive polyurethane, through our chemical technology platform Polaris™. Find us in the Springwise Innovation Library alongside other great companies working to change the #MaterealWorld ✦
🌍🤖 How can #AI help create cleaner plastics? Matereal’s AI-driven R&D has led to Polaris, a sustainable, non-toxic polyurethane made from renewable and recycled resources and captured CO2. This eco-friendly alternative is as versatile and affordable as traditional polyurethane but is much less polluting and almost a million times less toxic.🌱💡 Discover how Matereal is transforming the textile industry and beyond by clicking the link below ⬇️ #GreenTech #Plastic #Innovation #InnovationThatMatters Jacqueline Ros Amable Philip Pienkos

Want to know more about our mission to decarbonize and detoxify the chemical supply chain? ✦ Listen to our CEO and co-founder Jacqueline Ros Amable talk polyurethane, Polaris™ and plastic supply chain on Products That Count. Hosted with the brilliant Maggie Wong! ⏱️Total listening time = 45 min 🔗Apple https://lnkd.in/edMx-rN2 🔗Spotify https://lnkd.in/eBshMqW5
Happy Friday! I am excited to release another "Climate Tech Products that Make the World a Better Place" podcast episode with Products That Count, featuring Jacqueline Ros Amable, CEO & Co-Founder of Matereal. Matereal's mission is to decarbonize and detoxify the chemical supply chain, starting with polyurethane and targeting the fashion industry. The use of plastics makes up 15% of oil and gas demand, which is projected to increase to 30% by 2030 as consumer products continue to depend on petrochemicals supply. Matereal's scalable platform leverages AI to optimize the utilization of renewable feedstocks alongside captured CO2. Their first product, Polaris (non-isocyanate polyurethane), is a biodegradable, renewable and cost-effective material that is 1 million times less toxic than petrochemical polyurethane. Apple podcast link: https://lnkd.in/g8qDyTnZ Spotify link: https://lnkd.in/g_4FPxKZ Highlights: - It is crucial for a founder/start-up to have a clear go-to-market / channel strategy (e.g. what to deliver, required margins etc) - Matereal targets textile mills as their early customers as they are under regulatory pressure to remove PFAS in production. - Organizational structure is important in a company's operational flows and business growth - Matereal has conducted very specific talent acquisition to align with the required expertise and a pre-determined burn rate. - Diversity plays a major role in product development as it encompasses consideration of all stakeholders and the need to build a holistic solution. - Great product managers are like air traffic controllers - being able to listen, ask the right questions, follow-up and direct the product team, as well as knowing when to step away and allow the team to leverage their expertise in the development process. Congratulations to Matereal on their recent $4.5m seed funding round led by Collaborative Fund, with investments from Better Ventures, Alante Capital, One Small Planet, Climate Capital, Sandy Spring Climate Partners, Pachamama Ventures and PDS Ventures! Shout-outs in the episode: Cleaner Moms, Bloomberg Philanthropies, Beyond Petrochemicals, Safer Chemicals Fund, Venture For ClimateTech and "To Dye For" Book by Alden Wicker. #ClimateProductManagement #ClimateTech #ProductInnovation #Decarbonization #Detoxification #Fashion #Plastics #Petrochemicals #Polyurethane #Diversity #ProductManagement #ClimateCommunity #AI #Fundraising #VentureCapital #HappyFridayInsights #TGIF
