NILO
NILO's vision is a clean and abundant future where nothing goes to waste. We are chemists, engineers, technologists and entrepreneurs on an urgent mission to help save our planet. Based in Auckland, New Zealand, NILO is a deep tech company focused on turning plastic waste into new products that seamlessly integrate into the world’s existing supply chain driving rapid replacement and adoption of problem materials like urea formaldehyde and concrete. NILO’s investors include: SDG Impact Japan, Clare Foundation, Icehouse Ventures, and K1W1. We see our technology as the beginning of a new plastic waste economy - one in which repurposing and plastic accreditation, drives plastic waste collection globally. We are here to align human industry with both by turning the world’s waste from a problem into an opportunity, one use case at a time. Drawing on the expertise of an executive board that integrates scientific advancements within a uniquely Kiwi/Maori cultural synthesis that stresses kaitiakitanga, NILO fulfils its role in techno-repurposing industrialisation through a low-carbon emission process that starts with plastics but when fully realised will turn not only plastics, but construction waste, tires and a wide-range of solid waste into a range of circular economy products and solutions. NILO believes our technology can be the beginning of a new plastic waste economy. Learn more at NILO.world
