WILDPLASTIC® was founded in 2019 by seven entrepreneurs with the goal to free the environment from plastic waste by structurally changing the way we think about plastic and operating as a steward-owned company from the start. With support from a diverse group of investors, they secured several rounds of mission-aligned, non-extractive growth capital, ensuring their purpose always comes first. WILDPLASTIC®’s financing structure evolved with the company’s growth and development and allowed many different types of investors to get first experiences with steward-ownership aligned financing. Over their financing journey, WILDPLASTIC® used convertible loans, subordinated loans and redeemable non-voting shares, all structured in alignment with the principles of steward-ownership.
