Mangrove Lithium, based in Vancouver, has developed a modular and scalable refining technology for the efficient production of battery-grade lithium hydroxide and carbonate from a variety of input streams. This innovative platform allows for the direct conversion of lithium chloride and lithium sulfate into high-quality lithium products. The technology can be adapted to different capacities and is designed to be co-located with upstream lithium producers, as well as cathode and cell manufacturers. Additionally, Mangrove’s platform is being commercialized for the conversion of waste brines into valuable chemicals and desalinated water, contributing to more sustainable practices in the lithium supply chain.

Mill is a company focused on addressing food waste, a significant environmental challenge. It offers innovative kitchen bins that dry, shrink, and eliminate odors from leftover food, transforming waste into a compost-like material. These digitally connected bins can be rented, allowing users to efficiently manage their kitchen waste overnight. Additionally, Mill facilitates the shipping of the processed material to facilities that convert it into animal feed, thereby promoting a sustainable waste management system. Through its products and services, Mill aims to contribute to a healthier environment by providing practical solutions for reducing food waste at home.
