RESIN REMOVAL - ChemR

the problem

Composite materials are widely used for their excellent strength-to-weight performance and durability. However, the use of cross-linked thermoset resins and strong fibre–matrix adhesion prevents easy reprocessing, unlike thermoplastics.

Current and emerging technologies are often expensive and energy-intensive, requiring high temperatures and pressures. Chemical recycling processes can also produce large volumes of solvent waste contributing to higher environmental and economic costs.

Uplift360 - The Problem We Are Solving - linear lifecycle of composite waste

our SOLUTION

ChemR is a proprietary chemical recycling process that can uniquely reuse its solvent between recycling batches and is capable of operating at room temperature and pressure.

 

It delivers high-purity recovered fibres ready for reinjection into composite manufacturing. With direct solvent reuse and mild operating conditions, ChemR offers a cleaner and more cost-effective alternative for manufacturers facing carbon reduction targets and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) requirements.

Originally developed in collaboration with University of Bristol, now in Uplift360's Bristol facilities.
