Glavel recycles glass into a building material - foamed fiberglass filler, that allows construction industry to more cost-effectively insulate underfloor slabs and significantly reduce the carbon emissions of building materials. Foamed fiberglass filler replaces polyurethane foam insulation, aggregate, and lightweight aggregates in a variety of applications, providing drainage, insulation, and compressive strength. It is easy to install and non-toxic, ensuring durability and stability for long-term use. According to the company, it contains no volatile organic compounds, microplastics or harmful additives. Recycling glass eliminates waste, creating a highly effective building material.

Solarcycle provides solar panel recycling services in the US. It partners with leading solar energy companies to recycle their solar systems and create a circular solar economy. The company transports, sorts and safely recycles many types of old solar panels, including silicon, cadmium-telluride and First Solar panels, converting them into valuable new materials for the next generation of solar panels. Solarcycle also offers recycling solutions for inverters, transformers, cables and other power electronics, recovering metals such as silver, copper, gold and lead with a 99% recovery rate. It also offers sampling services for the Toxicity Leaching Procedure (TCLP), which is necessary to determine whether solar panels meet the definition of hazardous waste.

Uplift360 develops a chemical technology for the regeneration of composite materials (carbon fiber, Kevlar-grade aramids and hybrid laminates) that form the basis of modern aerospace and defense systems, wind turbines and high-performance vehicles. Unlike traditional recycling, which reduces strength and limits applications, the company's non-destructive process produces products that meet virgin fiber standards. For example, it recycles materials from Eurofighter Typhoon fighter jet parts and Merlin helicopter blades into components for unmanned aerial vehicles. The company collaborates with Rolls-Royce, Babcock and Leonardo and aims to create a scalable closed-loop model for composite materials across Europe, ensuring reliable supply chains in the face of increasing geopolitical pressure.
