Greenwall Environmental Group is a company engaged in making devices that can minimise non-biodegradable waste. It argues that asbestos remains the largest occupational killer in the UK today. Its product, Asbestosprobe, aims to change this situation. The company asserts that Asbestoprobe is arguably the world's first handheld analyser specifically designed to detect asbestos in real-time. It argues that current methods of detecting and recording the presence of asbestos are costly, invasive and slow. Asbestoprobe uses a point-and-click approach utilising NIR Spectroscopy and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to analyse the presence of asbestos in two minutes via the Asbestoprobe App. Greenwall plans to provide an annual software licensing model which grows through recurring revenue year on year. It endeavours to be a segment leader in the projected $1 billion global asbestos management market. The company will use the investment to grow its business across different verticals.

Thermulon builds aerogels for building insulation and aspires to disrupt the global thermal building insulation market that was worth $30 billion in 2020. It claims that its aerogels are the first to beat the tradeoff between fire safety, thermal performance and price with the ability to fight climate and fire-safety emergencies. Thermulon cites its research with Ryder Architecture stating that using Thermulon's products on a new apartment block could save 100mm in insulation thickness compared to mineral wood and potentially add floor space equivalent to 7 additional 1-bed flats making safe insulation a profitable move for developers. The company was awarded £550,000 in InnovateUK equity-free grants, garnered a project to insulate 10,000 social houses over the next 5-10 years, and has been felicitated with awards from the Royal Society of Chemistry and the Royal Academy of Engineering. The company states it will use the investment to grow its team, file its first patent, certify its product and get Thermulon’s insulation on walls.
