Alumni Investment and Impact

Tracking the projects, funding, and materials recovery that NextCycle Washington teams and seed grant recipients are generating across the state.

NextCycle Washington has supported innovators, entrepreneurs, and organizations working to build stronger recycling and materials management systems across Washington State. Through the Circular Accelerator and Seed Grant programs, teams receive funding, coaching, and connections to move their ideas from concept to implementation.

This dashboard tracks the cumulative impact of those investments — where teams are located, what materials they're working on, and the progress they're making toward a more circular economy in Washington.
