Responsibly

Responsibly is a sustainability tech start-up with vision of making every purchase in the world responsible 🌍 There's no bigger problem out there than the climate, and procurement represents a big part of the solution - when purchase decisions are made on the background of responsible data like CO2 footprint, suppliers have a huge incentive to change. However, procurement is becoming overloaded with complexity. Different frameworks, different data sources, different coverage, making it difficult to make purchase decisions to improve your responsibility profile and scope 3 emissions. At Responsibly, we're trying to solve this issue by using leading technologies and data science, to build a supplier data platform that makes it easier to source responsibly. We're founded by two serial entrepreneurs with previous successes like Dixa and Ofload, and have received pre-seed funding from some of Europe's top VCs and angels. We're now building a top-tier team to tackle this big thing called climate, and have fun while we're doing it 🤘

Real-Time LCA

Real-Time LCA is a powerful platform that enables companies to understand, reduce, and document the climate impact of their building projects during design and construction. 🏘️ By automating LCA calculations, it reduces the effort required for impact assessments by 50-90%. Users can perform collaborative, efficient, and accurate Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) that comply with international standards, certification schemes, and regulations. The platform streamlines LCA processes from BIM to reporting, allowing all stakeholders to visualize, track, and document carbon emissions to meet regulations, reported through our standard templates, or leverage your sustainability data in other applications through our API. 🙌

GLYON

GLYON is developing a CO₂-powered textile-to-textile recycling technology to help brands, fiber producers, and recyclers solve the growing textile waste crisis with a breakthrough chemical recycling process that turns waste into virgin-quality raw materials for new fibers—without fossil fuels. We address the massive problem of textile waste, a global crisis where over 92 million tonnes of textile waste are discarded each year—most of it ending up in landfills or incinerated. This contributes to major pollution issues but also forces the textile industry to continue its dependence on virgin fossil-based materials. Our solution targets fiber producers, brands, and recyclers who need circular raw material solutions. Our CO₂-based chemical recycling process breaks down polyester textiles into building blocks and leaves other fibers like cotton intact. Both PET building blocks and cotton can be used to produce new, high-quality fibers without the need for virgin oil and reducing water consumption and CO₂ emissions.

Custodians are passionate about using their time and talents to protect the environment and solve the greatest challenge of our time - climate change. Custodians come together to create change NOW, driven by the realisation that time is running out for the planet’s finite resources and there is NO PLAN(ET) B! As a Custodian, you will be at the forefront of introducing Toco to Copenhagen, spreading the word, and onboarding businesses and individuals to join the movement and start using a currency that directly contributes to sustainable projects that remove or reduce carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, to combat climate change. Beyond the climate impact that each Custodian creates, Custodians volunteer their time and are financially rewarded based on the climate impact they create.

Emballage Indberetning

Emballage Indberetning er en kollektiv ordning, der håndterer producentansvaret for danske virksomheder. Med mere end 3.800 medlemmer er vi Danmarks største kollektive ordning, og vi er de eneste i landet, der dækker alle 8 produktområder. De fleste kollektive ordninger dækker kun ét eller to områder, så en virksomhed med flere produkttyper må være medlem tre forskellige steder, med tre kontrakter, tre sæt satser og tre indberetningsrytmer at holde styr på. Hos os er det ét medlemskab, der dækker hele producentansvaret, og vi bygger vores egen software for at understøtte vores medlemmer bedst muligt. Producentansvar er et miljøprincip: virksomheder får det juridiske og økonomiske ansvar for deres produkters miljøpåvirkning, især når produkterne bliver til affald. Det skubber til mere bæredygtigt design, mere genanvendelse og mindre affald. Godt for planeten, men svært for virksomhederne. De fleste har aldrig hørt om producentansvar, før de pludselig er omfattet, og så møder de et regelsæt skrevet af jurister til jurister. Hvert produktområde (emballage, elektronik, batterier, engangsplast og flere) har sine egne satser, sine egne materialefraktioner og sin egen indberetningsrytme. Det rammer tusindvis af danske virksomheder, og hvert år bliver flere omfattet. Bag hvert fysisk produkt, der bliver indberettet, gemmer der sig mange bevægelige dele. Der skal faktureres, laves stikprøver og indsamles data hver gang en affaldsspand bliver tømt: hvor meget kan genanvendes, og hvad skal brændes? En af vores største opgaver som kollektiv ordning er at indsamle og måle den data og indberette den videre til myndighederne. Derfor bygger vi vores egen software. Ikke for at sælge den, men fordi vores forpligtelser kan automatiseres, når de bliver til kode. Vi startede i januar 2025, fordi producentansvar giver god mening for miljøet, men er indrettet dårligt for de virksomheder, det rammer. Miljøet vinder kun, hvis virksomhederne rent faktisk kan finde ud af at leve op til reglerne. Vores mission er at gøre producentansvar så enkelt og tilgængeligt, at en virksomhed kan overholde det uden at forstå hvert komma i lovgivningen og komme tilbage til sin forretning. På 14 måneder er vi gået fra 2 til 15 medarbejdere.
