Sustainability is no longer just a buzzword. It is (and rightfully should be) a core element in every startup’s business plan. Some, however, start with a desire to build sustainable alternatives and create their startup based from there. Here are three sustainable startups from Aarhus, that are on our watch-list.

Pond

The startup, Pond, is built on the technology Pond Cycle® which revolutionizes the use of plastics in manufacturing. Founded in 2015, Pond now enables manufacturers to provide their customers with responsible products that are part of a natural, symbiotic cycle. Helping companies pass on a thriving, biodiverse planet to future generations.

In 2021, Pond partnered with Adidas, striving to substitute fossil-based plastic materials with plant-based raw materials in Adidas’ footwear and apparel.


The Team

The startup was founded in Aarhus by CEO Thomas Brorsen Pedersen, Group CEO Pernille Alberg Pedersen and CTO, Martin Jensen.

Textile Change

The startup, Textile Change, is developing a technology that turns textile waste into raw material for fiber production. Today, less than 1% of the material used to produce clothing is recycled into new clothing.

Textile Change’s technology can transform the loads of locally present textile waste into fiber that is just as good as new. This cuts down on emissions from producing new textiles and from transportation of products.


The Team

Textile Change was founded in 2020 by Ditte Højland, Simon H. Rossen, Emma Hostrup Anders Reimer, and Anders Nielsen. The startup is currently based in Agro Business Park, just outside Aarhus and started in Aarhus University’s startup hub, The Kitchen.
