Investing in Sustainable Solutions
The Larry H . Miller Company recently announced our investment in Recyclops , a Utah technology startup that innovates environmental sustainability solutions . It is tackling recycling challenges by innovating solutions to make it easier , more convenient and accessible , especially to those who don ’ t have recycling near them and for materials that are difficult to recycle .
We also announced a partnership with Recyclops to use its service in our operating businesses and residential community developments to improve sustainability efforts in recycling and reuse .
In October , Recyclops was named a 2022 Green Business Honoree by Utah Business Magazine in recognition of their efforts to enrich lives by bringing sustainable lifestyle solutions to our communities .
Aqua-Yield , the leading nanoliquid company for agricultural production worldwide , announced the close of its Series A investment round of $ 23M led by the Larry H . Miller Company in September .
Aqua-Yield offers a technology unlike anything else in the market , having created its own segment in the world of crop inputs . The company ’ s award-winning nanoliquid solutions leverage sophisticated nanoparticles to make liquid agricultural products more effective at plant absorption and
dramatically increase crop yield and profits for farmers while enhancing soil sustainability .
“ Aqua-Yield makes synthetic fertilizers and chemicals more efficient , increasing nutrient uptake and decreasing synthetic fertilizer use , resulting in more environmentally efficient and profitable farms ,” said David Smith , the LHM Company ’ s chief strategy officer . “ Stewardship is a core value at the Larry H . Miller Company , and we see this investment as an opportunity to improve methods that feed our planet in a more sustainable and responsible manner .”
Sustainability goes beyond environmental considerations and takes into account the economic and social implications of the decisions we make . It ’ s the lens that lets us see further down the road , bringing greater foresight to our planning and greater insight into our decision-making . It ’ s the spark that ignites big ideas and solves problems at a whole new level .
As we continue to grow and invest in our communities , we honor our stewardship to protect , preserve and sustain our precious resources for future generations .
