    Greentown Labs and BASF are now accepting applications for the Greentown Labs Circularity Challenge, a six-month accelerator program. 
     
    Greentown Labs and BASF are seeking innovative ideas from startups with a proof of concept solution to disrupt the plastics, energy storage and recycling value chains to enable a sustainable and circular economy. 
     
    This program is supported by Stanley Black & Decker.
     
    "The circular economy is all about resource efficiency and implementing sustainable practices across value chains," said Emily Reichert, CEO of Greentown Labs. "We believe deeply in the impact innovations across the circular economy can have on our planet and we are eager to see all the great ideas startups have to improve energy storage, plastics, and recycling value chains."
     
    The Greentown Labs Circularity Challenge, located at Greentown Labs in Somerville, Mass., offers a collaborative environment to creatively explore, pilot and develop disruptive approaches to circularity, joining forces between corporates at different positions in the value chain – BASF and Stanley Black & Decker – and the innovative startup ecosystem. Selected startups will gain access to industry advisors and mentors, business and technical resources as well as physical infrastructure, among other benefits.
     
    “BASF believes that the chemical industry and its innovations can lead the way in circular economy thinking and action,” said Peter Eckes, president, Bioscience Research and Regional Research Representative North America, BASF. “Yet, solving the challenges for a sustainable and circular economy requires innovation across the value chain to provide benefits to customers and suppliers, and in many cases may require completely new business models and partners. By teaming up with Greentown Labs and Stanley Black & Decker we have already initiated a collaborative environment and look forward to working with startups to explore disruptive ideas in plastics, battery materials and digital tools.”
     
    “Stanley Black & Decker has the reach, product innovation and mindset to be a powerful force for good, especially in today’s world where so much is changing and being disrupted by technology and new ways of doing business,” said Marty Guay, VP of Business Development at Stanley Black & Decker. “Corporations like ours can be part of the solution yet we also acknowledge the need to partner and collaborate with other recognized leaders such as BASF and Greentown Labs. By working together, we can harness our collective skills and imagination to deliver positive business and societal outcomes in areas of mutual importance.”
     
    Specific areas of interest within the plastics, batteries and digital tools categories for the Greentown Labs Circularity Challenge include, but are not limited to:
     
    Plastics
    • Advanced recycling technologies; 
    • Novel designs; 
    • Energy-efficient processes for depolymerization (including enzymes), pyrolysis or gasification to recover building blocks 
    Batteries
    • New business models to improve the collection of batteries/cells after initial use;
    • Ways to optimize recycling of battery materials, including valuable metals such as cobalt, nickel, lithium, etc.; 
    • New batteries that can be reused, repurposed or recycled more often and more cost effectively 
    Digital tools
    • Digital platforms that enable new business models in the circular economy; 
    • Tools that help simulate and predict recyclability and guide designs;
    • Technologies that support tracking and reporting of value streams 
    Submissions for the program will be evaluated based on potential technological impact, the strength of the team, and relevance for partnership with BASF and Stanley Black & Decker, among other factors. 
     
    Applicants must disclose the status of any intellectual property (IP) relevant to their submission. Selected applicants’ IP will be fully protected throughout the review process.
     
    Selected Circularity Challenge awardee(s) are eligible for the following awards and benefits:
    • Acceptance into Greentown Launch, a six-month accelerator program for startups at Greentown Labs;
    • $25,000 in non-dilutive grant funding;
    • Partnership with and/or potential investment from BASF by the end of the program;
    • Access to select BASF testing capabilities, global technical facilities and expertise;
    • Exclusive access to the Greentown Labs and BASF networks;
    • Desk space at the Greentown Labs Global Center for Cleantech Innovation;
    • Potential access to BASF-sponsored bench in Greentown’s wet lab;
    • Potential for joint ISO-standardized eco-efficiency analysis with BASF;
    • Opportunity to connect with multiple stakeholders across industries, including BASF customer and special program affiliate Stanley Black & Decker
    Applications for the Greentown Labs Circularity Challenge are due by Aug. 30, 2019 at 11:59 p.m. EDT.
