@AirCanada mailed me invoice for a nov 2022 ticket from SFO to YVR, citing that my credit card had declined to pay. On that day, my husband was actually denied check in and Air Canada cancelled his ticket and refunded it. We had to buy a 4x pricier ticket just to travel!
We’ve launched a new partnership with @On_Running by turning plastic trash into the world’s first upcycled TPU outsole.
We think this is the next $1B+ unicorn opportunity in climate tech.
Here’s why: 👇
We partnered with @on_running to solve the plastic waste problem through footwear innovation. We're transforming trash that is difficult to recycle into performance outsoles with deep tech. Check out our Cloudprime collab.

We call it chemical upcycling.
And, we think it will change the course of plastics forever.
The end materials are worth 50x more than the plastic scrap we start with.
It also performs so well that you’d never know it came from trash unless we told you.
.@mirandaywwang tells @FrancesSSellers about Novoloop: “We’re working on transforming plastics that are really hard to recycle today... We invented a chemical process to actually take the plastics, break them down a molecular level and create brand new high performing materials.”
I’m heartbroken and shocked to hear about the loss of Boryana Straubel, cofounder of the @StraubelFdn and a great supporter, investor, and friend of our team at @Novoloop. We had just chatted in April. My thoughts are with her family https://t.co/4HlViBwdBw
