On today’s Sustainability In Your Ear, meet Kavita Patel, a principal at MUUS Climate Partners, as we discuss how smart investments and business support can drive environmental impact while generating returns. MUUS Climate Partners invests in early-stage climate technology companies, with a portfolio including battery recycler Nth Cycle, EV charging innovator AmpUp, and innovative thermal battery developer Harvest. The firm targets critical sectors—energy, industry, materials, and transportation—where innovation is essential for meeting climate goals. In our conversation, Kavita addresses the “green premium,” pointing out that while consumers may pay more upfront for sustainable products, they often realize long-term savings. She emphasizes that the most significant opportunity to reduce costs lies in eliminating waste throughout our economy, from production, through the use phase, to recovering and reusing materials traditionally discarded after a single use.
