Blockchain verifies environmental impact

Newlight Technologies creates high-performance consumer goods from greenhouse gas. Blockchain ensures product processes and impact on the environment can be tracked, audited and communicated.

Dreamers and doers reinventing what’s possible

Blockchain’s success doesn’t happen alone. It takes visionaries with big ideas and technologists who know how to bring those ideas to life. That’s what you can find with the IBM Blockchain Ecosystem for Business Partners.

One company is a shining example of this: Cognition Foundry. It’s the 2020 winner of the IBM Beacon Award Blockchain Trailblazer category. Cognition Foundry has helped clients like Plastic Bank, Newlight Technologies and others use blockchain to transform plastic waste into currency for the world’s unbanked and turn greenhouse gases into biocompatible goods.

“What we do is bring technology to these cool ideas,” says Bill Stark, Cognition Foundry’s President (at left in photo with Shaun Frankson of Plastic Bank). “A founder has an idea to do something positive in the world. We have decades of experience in using technology to do that.”

“We help startups see how blockchain can give them the authenticity and transparency that will win hearts and minds.”
