Pivot Materials | Detroit, MI

recycling of industrial paper byproducts waste into next generation materials that combat climate change while creating employment opportunities

 Pivot Materials is a growing business that tests and creates end market products from waste streams. They've had previous success with making and selling products made from agricultural waste. During the NextCycle program, the project team partnered with Great Lake Tissues on planning steps to make a product out of paper manufacturing by-product material. The project demonstrates the potential scaling to other larger paper manufacturing facilities. They also connected with an investor and learn how to successful communicate their business through a pitch presentation. Currently, there is a new opportunity lined up with retailers to sell their current and future products.
