Six years in, Amy Ma refines the art of sorting recyclables
Six years in, Amy Ma has refined the art of sorting recyclables into something almost meditative. The Danu founder didn't set out to build a flashy gadget; she built a patient, practical system for a messy problem. That persistence matters. It echoes the quiet resolve we admire in builders who solve the unglamorous parts of daily life. If you're wrestling with your own workflow inefficiencies, her approach might inspire a different way forward.
From toxic red mud to valuable minerals: mining waste for a cleaner future
Billions of tons of aluminum waste sit in massive red mud ponds, a stubborn environmental hazard. Fast Metals sees that not as a dead end, but as a resource.

It's a pragmatic, circular approach that tackles a legacy problem head-on. We're keen to see if their process scales, and you can explore more bold ideas over at our Disrupt coverage.
Lululemon invests $30M in startup transforming nylon recycling

The French startup just closed a $30M Series A, with Lululemon backing the round. That is a strong signal, not just about capital, but about market validation. Nylon recycling is notoriously difficult, so seeing a major apparel player step in suggests this approach has real traction.
