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.

Cyclic Materials specializes in recycling magnet manufacturing waste and other end-of-life components (electric vehicle motors, hybrid transmissions, wind turbine generators, hard drives, MRI machines) to extract rare earth elements. It utilizes physical and hydrometallurgical processing for extracting metals. Its patented MagCycleSM and REEPureSM technologies enable the recovery of critical minerals with minimal environmental impact. The resulting products include high-quality recycled mixed rare earth oxide (rMREO), aluminum, copper, nickel, cobalt, mixed hydroxide precipitate (MHP) and pure iron-containing materials. The company operates a rare earth element recycling facility in South Carolina that can produce 600 tonnes of rare metals per year.
