About the Company

FAIRMAT

Closed-loop recycling of CFRP waste

Fairmat recycles carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) waste to close the loop in manufacturing. It takes end-of-life CFRP items, processes them into reusable carbon fiber materials, and supplies these recycled materials back to industries for new products, along with services like sustainability consulting. This is done through a closed-loop system that reduces landfill waste and lowers carbon footprints. The company differentiates itself by focusing on CFRP recycling at scale and partnering with major clients (e.g., Dassault Aviation, Decathlon, Siemens Gamesa, Siux) to cut raw material costs and boost sustainability credentials. The goal is to advance circular economy practices in heavy industries and enable decarbonization by turning waste into usable materials for new applications.
