Plastic Bank is a for-profit social enterprise whose model is designed to reduce plastic pollution and alleviate poverty in developing countries. It does this by establishing plastic collection centers where communities exchange plastic waste as currency for income and life-improving benefits such as income, zero-interest loans, education, or other social benefits. Exchanges are recorded through their proprietary blockchain-secured platform, enabling traceable collection, secured income, and verified reporting. The collected material is processed into Social Plastic® feedstock for reuse in products and packaging. The company re-invests the majority of its profits into collection benefits, development and maintenance of recycling infrastructure, and technology development for material traceability for a greater social, environmental, and economic impact.

Kiiren is a no-code software-as-a-service (SaaS) application designed with regenerative intention to incorporate AI technology in right relationship with its human operators. The platform automatically tunes itself based on “knowledge bases” loaded into it, allowing non-technical people to adapt, curate, and collaborate around knowledge sets based on their unique operating context and place. Their primary focus is on enhancing community and organizational efficiency by providing seamless access to resources and information. Its mission is to adapt LLM generative AI technologies into globally accessible “augmented regenerative intelligence” (ARI) in a way that is humane and living systems first, ethical, safe, useful, and serves as an impact multiplier and coherence builder in the regenerative movement. Kiiren’s “knowledge ecosystem” is currently supporting leaders and community building across intersections of regenerative economics, finance, spirituality, indigenous wisdom, and social transformation.

Earth Species Project is a non-profit research lab and impact organization focused on using artificial intelligence to advance our understanding of animal communication, and ultimately to decode non-human languages. The organization is founded on the belief that understanding non-human languages will transform how we perceive the world and our relationship with the rest of nature. Their work involves developing machine learning models to interpret animal sounds and movements. While "decoding" communications are a long-term objective, the ESP supports other organizations along the way by supplementing animal and ecological research; supporting existing conservation efforts; and contributing to the fields of ethology, bioacoustics, and machine learning by making their research public.

Relier is a company tackling plastic waste in the produce industry through the upcycling of grapevine shoots. Relier's unique approach transforms discarded grapevine shoots into a sustainable biomaterial for packaging. This innovative material offers several benefits, including delaying fruit ripening, inhibiting microbial growth, and protecting produce during transport. Relier uses AI to analyze different recipe mixtures and percentages to obtain thermal, mechanical, and rheological behavioral to model the behavior of the clamshell, resulting in thousands of possibilities depending on the “how much” and “how” the components are mixed. Relier's biomaterial aims to be a more eco-friendly alternative to traditional plastic clamshell containers.
