ARAMID recycling - renew

the problem

The majority of equipment containing para-aramids are incinerated or landfilled at the end of their life. 

It takes 37kg of raw materials to make 1kg of para-aramid, and the carbon emissions for the production of aramids stands at 1.27 million tonnes of CO₂e per year. 

Para-aramids are: 

  • expensive to manufacture

  • fossil fuel derived

  • environmentally damaging to produce/dispose

  • incredibly difficult to reuse or recycle

Uplift360 - The Problem We Are Solving - linear lifecycle of aramids

our SOLUTION

RENEW is a patented solvent-based technology for aramid recycling. It is a globally unique process that produces continuous recycled aramid fibres.

 

The recycled fibres are applicable for a wide range of high-performance use cases, just like virgin-grade quality. Originally developed in collaboration with Imperial College London, now in Uplift360's Luxembourg facilities.
