Case Study: a large international bank advances plastics recycling investment strategy with Anthesis

Advanced Plastics Recycling Technologies and Market Screening for a Large International Bank

A large international bank sought to identify attractive investment opportunities to support the scaling of advanced plastics recycling technologies. The challenge was to navigate this rapidly emerging and complex market to find the most promising technologies and suppliers that could meet the strong demand for recycled plastics. The bank engaged the sustainability consultancy Anthesis to conduct a screening of the sector.

Anthesis implemented a project to screen advanced plastics recycling suppliers and develop an investment strategy for the client. The solution involved creating a detailed knowledge base of global technologies, identifying attractive investment opportunities using bespoke criteria, and developing profiles for ten high-potential suppliers. As a result, the client gained a robust understanding of the sector's commercial risks and geographic nuances. This enabled them to develop a strong investment strategy and initiate connections with promising companies for further evaluation.
