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.
