About The Circular Plastics Accelerator
Circular Plastics Accelerator
A radical new investment strategy to support smart tech and AI startups in the Circular Economy
The Circular Plastics Accelerator is a new investment strategy funded by Accelerating Growth Fund*, a subsidiary of international climate action NGO WRAP and developed in partnership with Archipelago Ventures. Launched in October 2023, it provides financial support to early-growth companies to take them to the next stage of growth, and critical expert support and guidance necessary to move towards commercialisation and scaling up at speed.
The Circular Plastics Accelerator targets investment at Series A into UK and European startups that are working to commercialise and scale their solutions, and will support a range of innovative smart technologies focused on the reduction or reuse of plastic, or increasing the amount of plastic that is collected, sorted and recycled.
It is planned as the first in a series of Accelerators targeting specific positive impacts, outcomes and geographies aligned to individual investors.
*The Circular Plastics Accelerator is a closed vehicle and this structure does not constitute a collective investment scheme
