Sustainability

Our vision

iGii was founded with the goal of using material science to improve lives, reduce environmental impact and align with UN Sustainable Development Goals. Recognising that existing graphene processes were not fit for the future, we set out to develop a fundamentally different manufacturing approach. This led to the invention of Gii, a pure, porous, 3D carbon nanomaterial.

Our process

Built for sustainable performance

Low-Energy, Clean Process

Gii is made using a low-energy, electrically powered process designed to minimise environmental impact. There are no mined metals, no toxic chemicals, and no refining involved. The result is a simpler, cleaner, and more sustainable approach to carbon nanomaterial production.

Renewable-Ready

Because the process is fully electric, it can be powered using 100 percent renewable electricity wherever that is available. As global manufacturing transitions to electrification, iGii’s process is already aligned with that direction.

Modular & Scalable

It is also modular and scalable offering greater control, reduced distribution emissions, and substantially less electricity than other processes. This flexibility enables a more decentralised, efficient approach to advanced materials manufacturing – one that avoids the environmental burden of long supply chains.

Resilient

By avoiding mined inputs and chemically intensive steps, the process offers greater resilience as well as lower impact. It scales easily from small R&D batches to high-volume production without altering the core method, making it flexible across use cases.

Our impact

The LCA

In early 2025, iGii commissioned a full Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to understand how its early-stage sensors compared to conventional devices from cradle to grave. At this point, the process had not yet benefited from scale, supply chain optimisation, or streamlined logistics yet the findings were clear. Even in its earliest form, Gii outperformed legacy materials on key environmental measures.

Our impact

NetZero

Sustainability has been part of iGii’s governance from the start. Working with Scottish Enterprise, we developed an early Net Zero Plan. Our investors require us to report on progress and have played a key role in shaping how sustainability is embedded in the business. This ongoing scrutiny has helped ensure that as we scale, we do so with strong foundations already in place.

As a growing company, we are clear-eyed about the balance between operational reductions and broader impact. Our biggest contribution lies in developing a material that supports lower-impact manufacturing for others. We remain committed to credible reporting, evidence-led claims, and scaling technology that drives both environmental and healthcare benefits.

Our Commitment

iGii was founded to prove that advanced materials can be both high-performing and low-impact. We’ve built a new class of carbon nanomaterial, delivered through a fundamentally cleaner process, and proven its potential in the most demanding real-world applications.  As we scale, that founding vision stays a core pillar of our strategy. Sustainability isn’t a layer we add, it’s woven into who we are, and the lens through which we will continue to pursue growth.
