This week, Matter, an innovation company pioneering technology for capturing, harvesting and recycling microplastics, received $10m in Series A funding.

The backing comes from Ashton Kutcher’s sustainable investment vehicle SOUNDWaves and Leonardo DiCaprio’s climate tech fund Regeneration VC.

v3 imagined the Matter brand earlier this year, as part of our ongoing partnership with Sky Ocean Ventures, and this marks the next step in their rapid acceleration journey.
