We Optimize For Regeneration
Our team is crystal clear on what we do, how we do it, and why we exist.
We Have Been In Your Shoes
A founder with years commercializing sustainable technologies
Our founder, Jesse Henry, was previously the co-founder and CEO of Heartland Industries, a material science company that manufactures natural fibers to reinforce plastic. He has spent years integrating sustainable solutions into the manufacturing, chemicals, and agriculture sectors.

Sustainable Inputs = Sustainable Outputs
ALT LABS has a team, software, and advisors focused on scaling clean technologies
Over many years, our team has learned from scaling clean technologies the wrong way and the right way. We like to help our clients avoid many of the mistakes we have previously made.

Experienced in Sustainability, Marketing, Sales, & Technology

Sustainable Solutions Are Nuanced
Commercializing sustainable materials and chemicals can cost a lot of time, money, and energy
We have spent many years focused on the problems and solutions associated with finding, testing, and commercializing sustainable innovations. These are some of the problems faced by producers and consumers of sustainable solutions.
Multiple Stakeholders
Integrating new materials requires many departments that all care about different things.
-
R&D = Performance
Material scientists and mechanical engineers are looking to determine if an alternative material can meet the required properties (mechanical, thermal, electrical, physical, chemical, optical, magnetic, etc).
-
Sustainablility = CO2
Sustainability departments care about carbon footprint reduction, responsible sourcing, and the message the company gets to tell its stakeholders (with approval from marketing, legal, communications, etc).
-
Procurement = Price
The procurement team cares about how much materials cost, how much they weigh, how they're shipped, and how you scale. Procurement teams need to understand how you become a reliable supplier.
Externalities Beyond CO2
Communicating other side effects of replacing a legacy solution creates unique anchors.
-
Reducing Pollutants
Creating materials from petrochemicals releases pollutants like Arsenic, Mercury, Lead, Benzene, Formaldehyde, Methane, Sulfur Dioxide, Nitrogen Oxides, Carbon Monoxide, VOC’s, Uranium, and other types of particulate matter. Reducing these pollutants is important.
-
Reducing Toxins
Exposure to most household chemicals disrupts our body's hormone production and natural rythm. Reducing these toxins is important.
-
Unknown Unknowns
Figure out the unique angles that your product adds value to the world. This can be all the little benefits that your solution provides to the world.
3rd Grade Language
Seize the opportunity to take really complex topics and explain them in a way that is repeatable & unique.
-
Easy to Understand
Can an elementary schooler understand what you do and how it works?
-
Repeatable
Can someone repeat what you do to a coworker or family member? If not, how do you expect word to spread?
-
Memorable
Is what you're saying memorable? If not, it will just blend in and become another 'me too' type of offering.
Multi Faceted
Being a leader in sustainable solutions is only possible with dozens of innovations.
-
Materials
Most plastics and additives are made from hydrocarbons (coal, oil, nat gas). These materials are very strong, very light, and very cheap.
-
Products
Metals and minerals are typically heavy, energy intensive, transportation inefficient, extracted resources.
-
Packaging
The built environment needs sustainable alternatives across hundreds of different types of products. It's time to systematically reduce embodied carbon.
Long Timeline
Companies can take many years to find, test, & commercialize clean technologies.
-
Hard To Source
Suppliers of sustainable materials are often not world class marketers. These companies could also be on the other side of the earth. Locating suppliers can be time and energy intensive.
-
Long Testing Que
Large companies have lots of materials that needed to get tested yesterday. New materials can sit in line for many months (or longer) before R&D teams have the time and resources to dive deeper.
-
Iterative Process
Testing new materials requires a feedback loop from the consumer of the material back to the producer of the material. Often times there are adjustments to formulations and processing conditions that are required for optimal performance.
High Costs
Sustainability-focused innovations can cost millions in R&D if not managed properly.
-
Dedicated Labor
The people at R&D labs who call the shots are well compensated. Experts at these R&D labs include materials scientists, mechanical engineers, polymer chemists, chemical engineers, and other types of scientists, engineers, and mathematicians.
-
Dedicated Equipment
The equipment required to run tests on new materials is expensive to acquire (and run). Often times, a company will have to use commercial equipment to run tests.
-
Opportunity Cost
If they are working on your material, they are dedicating resources that could be going to another material. A company only has so much bandwidth, so you are oftentimes competing with other innovations for the same time, money, and energy.
