On this basis, everwave issues fully traceable plastic credits that help companies meet their CSRD reporting obligations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">We supported everwave through a financing round combining mezzanine and equity capital, from sharpening the investment story and preparing materials to approaching the right investors and structuring and executing the round, including an impact-linked finance component with Roots of Impact and ESIIF. The result was a round with mission-aligned investors, designed to support the company\u2019s next phase of growth. Since then, everwave has continued to scale, including through new sites in Cambodia. Overall, the company has collected 2,600 tons of plastic worldwide (June 2026).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span data-text-color=\"primary\"><strong>What makes the case compelling, what the financing structure looks like, and how the collaboration unfolded: our Venture Snapshot tells the full story.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-1874451174\">\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1031282863\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner text-center\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t<div id=\"gap-434211365\" class=\"gap-element clearfix\" style=\"display:block; height:auto;\">\n\t\t\n<style>\n#gap-434211365 {\n  padding-top: 30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1511880622\">\n\t\t<a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/fa-se.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Case-Study-Snapshot-everwave-2.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" >\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1849\" height=\"1040\" src=\"https:\/\/fa-se.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Case-Study-Snapshot_Review-everwave.png\" class=\"attachment-original size-original\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fa-se.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Case-Study-Snapshot_Review-everwave.png 1849w, https:\/\/fa-se.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Case-Study-Snapshot_Review-everwave-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/fa-se.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Case-Study-Snapshot_Review-everwave-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/fa-se.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Case-Study-Snapshot_Review-everwave-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/fa-se.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Case-Study-Snapshot_Review-everwave-1536x864.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1849px) 100vw, 1849px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\t\t\n<style>\n#image_1511880622 {\n  width: 69%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span data-text-color=\"primary\"><strong>More on the financing round:<\/strong><\/span><br \/>Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/posts\/fase-financing-agency_everwave-secures-financing-activity-7366737956419686400-rw3c\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">announcement on LinkedIn <\/a>and <a href=\"https:\/\/everwave.de\/pressemitteilung-finanzierungsrunde\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">everwave&#8217;s press release <\/a>on the successful financing round.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><span data-text-color=\"secondary\"><span data-text-color=\"primary\"><strong>Impact venture on a growth trajectory?<\/strong><\/span><br \/><\/span>harpen your investment case, structure your fundraising process, and connect with investors aligned with your mission and financing needs.
