Cox Enterprises
Cox Enterprises is a privately held, family-owned conglomerate based in Atlanta, Georgia, that traces its roots to a single Ohio newspaper bought by James M. Cox in 1898. Over more than a century it grew into a roughly $23 billion-a-year business spanning broadband and cable (Cox Communications), automotive services and marketplaces (Cox Automotive, which owns Autotrader, Kelley Blue Book and Manheim), and media (Cox Media Group and Axios). Still controlled by the Cox family and led by fourth-generation CEO Alex Taylor, the company reinvests its cash into new bets such as greenhouse agriculture, advanced plastics recycling and healthcare, while pursuing an aggressive Cox Conserves goal to be carbon and water neutral by 2034.
Resynergi
Resynergi is a California advanced-recycling company that turns hard-to-recycle plastic into PyOil, a drop-in feedstock for new plastics and fuels. Its proprietary Continuous Microwave Assisted Pyrolysis (CMAP) technology runs inside modular, truck-shippable units that process plastic roughly 20 times faster than conventional pyrolysis, letting recyclers and manufacturers convert waste on-site instead of shipping it to landfills or oceans. Backed by Lummus Technology and Perenco's Taranis fund, Resynergi is moving from pilot to its first commercial-scale site.
