Nanomox has secured £2.4 million in seed funding to scale production of high-performance materials from waste sources and ores. The investment, led by TSP Ventures and Boast Trading LLC, will establish Catalyst 1, its first commercial pilot plant for large-scale production.

Founded in 2020 at Imperial College, Nanomox produces tailored zinc oxide crystals for mineral-based sunscreens, scheduled for launch in Q3 2026. Their proprietary ionic liquid process also targets recovery of valuable metals from industrial by-products, including electric arc furnace dust, potentially valued at $9 billion globally. The company aims to maintain ties with Imperial as it develops its platform.
