Pollution, including CO2 and methane, an even more serious greenhouse gas, is inefficient, displaced resources looking for someone to “capture and convert” — turning a liability into valuable assets. Why now? Why not!?

In the driver’s seat

We are now in an unprecedented position of fomenting change at all levels. Impact investment profits are now on our side.  Example:  Recovered Carbon Black (from waste rubber tires) is now far more profitable than making conventional “furnace” (petroleum) Carbon Black.  Tire manufacturers are making the transition, as rCB facilities are coming online everywhere the feedstocks can be secured. 

Each manager, making decisions, leading or lagging behind the inevitable indicators of our own self-preservation.  Let’s make more of the right choices while we still have time to choose.  Why are we (metaphorically) spending time shining our shoes when we would be better served by learning how to walk barefoot? How else can we expect to deal with the uneven footing and rocky surfaces that come with making bold, courageous, radical changes to daily practices. We’ve already entered that new territory. Throw away your shoes! Zoom doesn’t require them! :>)

In our partnership with In3 Capital, we know exactly how to originate such production facilities, and have fast/affordable funding available to make it happen. 

Is the opportunities are they compelling, then what’s the holdup?  Why are you reading this and not planning and funding a deep pipeline of profitable projects that will make the slow-dying old methods extinct in just a few years? Most common reason we hear: personal bandwidth, as we are all preoccupied and busy doing other things. For anyone who wants to jump into this opportunity with all three feet (shoes remain optional), please contact us and/or attend this November meeting to learn more.

These topics and more will be discussed at upcoming Waste-to-Value events, including our own “Trash Talk” event October 2021.

Yours in sustainability,
