The company sells dry foods and wet-style meals, training treats, and a portfolio of supplements addressing skin, breath, gut health and weight management. Omni is commercial and growing quickly—founders Guy Sandelowsky and Shiv Sivakumar say annualised sales rose from about £1M to close to £13M and the brand has helped more than 300,000 dogs, with a 130% sales lift and 20,000 new customers after its Dragons’ Den appearance.

Founded in 2014, Impact Recycling developed and commercialised BOSS (Baffled Oscillation Separation System), a patented water-based density separation process that reportedly yields PE and PP output streams exceeding 95% purity. The company says its ability to recycle both rigid and flexible plastics positions it as unique in the mechanical recycling space. It operates plants in Glasgow (specialising in medical NHS waste) and Peterlee (recently expanded to recycle flexible film packaging) and serves UK and European clients across healthcare, packaging, and waste management. Impact has pursued a licensing model, signing an agreement with Syklo to build and operate two 25,000-ton BOSS plants in Finland, and counts LG Chem as a shareholder and licence partner. In November 2023 it received a grant from Innovate UK and an €8.2 million loan from Nestlé to support facility development. The company will use the new €3.8 million follow-on investment from IW Capital for business development and to continue scaling in current and new markets. Impact Recycling has developed a proprietary BOSS (Baffled Oscillation Separation System) water-based density-separation process that separates mixed post-consumer plastic into two consistent streams: polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) each with over 98% purity. The company sells the recovered, reusable plastic to manufacturers for goods and packaging, improving the economics of plastic recycling and diverting material from landfill and incineration. Impact currently operates sites in Newcastle and is completing a new operational hub in Bellshill, Glasgow; the article notes the business now boasts three sites across the UK. The recent capital injection is intended to accelerate growth and finish the Bellshill site, which is expected to create new local jobs. Impact has also received significant grant funding targeted at development and completion of the Glasgow site.
