Uplift360 has raised €7.4 million to commercialize a technology for recycling carbon fibre from composite waste, primarily from old equipment. This funding comes from Extantia, NATO Innovation Fund, and others, and will help establish a pilot facility in Bristol.

The startup's process removes adhesives from composite materials to produce high-quality carbon fibre suitable for applications in defense, automotive, and electronics. Uplift360 aims to expand its R&D to recover other valuable materials and intends to develop a larger commercial production facility in the future. The company focuses on addressing waste and material costs in the defense sector.
