Amsterdam-based climate tech Ecochain secures €3 million‎ to software support the EU fight against greenwashing

Frans-Willem de Kloet, CEO at Ecochain, says: ‘’According to the UNEP, the extraction and processing of materials, fuels, and food make up about 50% of total global greenhouse gas emissions and more than 90% of biodiversity loss and water stress. According to their CEO, the funding will allow Ecochain to expand its marketing and technology departments towards its vision: that every time a company creates a product, they measure its environmental impact to ensure that the world is in a better place than it was before. Their software is the vehicle to achieve a more fair, transparent, and sustainable world.” Founded in 2011, Ecochain operates internationally in industries such as packaging, construction, apparel, food and beverage, and consumer electronics, among others. With the recent launch of Mobius, the easy-to-use LCA software, Ecochain empowers professionals in different manufacturing sectors to effectively communicate the environmental impact of their products and services to clients, stakeholders, and consumers. As a supporter, we are excited to see their continued impact on the manufacturing industry and their mission to make high-quality LCAs understandable for all.” says Sander Vonk, Partner at Volta Ventures, an Amsterdam-based seed, and early-stage VC firm.
