Uplift360 develops low-temperature chemical recycling technologies, such as its proprietary ChemR and RENEW processes, to regenerate high-value, hard-to-treat composite waste like carbon fiber and Kevlar. Primarily serving defense, aerospace, and energy sectors, the startup's chemical process restores fibers to their original virgin-equivalent quality to support sovereign European supply chains. The company demonstrated major commercial traction by securing a Multi-Year Framework Agreement with the Luxembourg Directorate of Defence in July 2026. Additionally, the firm closed a 7.4 million Euro seed round in February 2026 led by climate tech investor Extantia.
