We help investors, product developers and strategists “peak around corners” to find the best innovations that can improve the sustainability of processes, products and systems. These innovations can take the form of new methods, devices, machines, materials, chemistries, energy sources, and business models. We also assess the technical an
We help investors, product developers and strategists “peak around corners” to find the best innovations that can improve the sustainability of processes, products and systems. These innovations can take the form of new methods, devices, machines, materials, chemistries, energy sources, and business models. We also assess the technical and economic feasibility and market readiness of promising innovations.
Pollution Prevention

Sustainable Innovation
We help customers identify and implement opportunities to eliminate waste at its source through improvements in efficiency, productivity, raw material selection and by- product management. Our recommendations help customers reduce waste and costs while improving the health and safety of employees, communities and the environment. Pollutio
We help customers identify and implement opportunities to eliminate waste at its source through improvements in efficiency, productivity, raw material selection and by- product management. Our recommendations help customers reduce waste and costs while improving the health and safety of employees, communities and the environment. Pollution prevention practices can range from minor process improvements to the implementation of innovative technology.
Circular Economy
Sustainable Innovation
Energy Efficiency
We help customers find and implement opportunities to emulate mother nature’s natural cycles by creating a circular flow of materials and energy throughout their value chain. We achieve this through a combination of innovations that restore value to assets through processes such as remanufacturing. Customers are often able to achieve mult
We help customers find and implement opportunities to emulate mother nature’s natural cycles by creating a circular flow of materials and energy throughout their value chain. We achieve this through a combination of innovations that restore value to assets through processes such as remanufacturing. Customers are often able to achieve multiple life cycles with minimal investment of resources. We also help companies develop and implement service- based business models that are based on selling performance instead of selling “stuff ”.

Highlander engineers help customers help customers identify and implement cost-effective energy efficiency measures in applications ranging from buildings sophisticated industrial processes. We also help customers explore innovative contracting arrangements for energy efficiency such as energy savings performance contracts and energy as a service models. These innovative business arrangements enable customers to preserve precious capital without increasing monthly expenses. The efficiency measures are paid for through a long-term contract whereby savings generated from efficiency measures pay for the improvements.

Our staff helps clients assess and implement the best options for adopting energy sources that cost-effectively minimize their carbon footprint. Examples include wind, solar, geothermal, microgrids, biofuels, and combined heat and power technologies. We also help clients evaluate and implement various options for energy storage, such as batteries, pumped storage, and hydrogen. Additionally, we help clients explore various innovative financing options such as power purchase agreements (PPAs) and virtual power purchase agreements (vPPAs) that enable them to procure renewable energy without capital investment or disruption to operations.
