UPLIFT360
UPLIFT360 is an advanced materials company headquartered in St Petersburg, United States, with research roots in Bristol, UK, and scaling operations in Luxembourg. The firm specializes in chemical regeneration and recovery of high-performance fibres—including carbon, aramid, and Dyneema—from end-of-life defence, aerospace, energy, and automotive composite assets such as body armour, fast jets, and wind turbine blades. Its two core technologies, ChemR (short-fibre recovery via resin removal) and RENEW (continuous aramid fibre regeneration), operate at room temperature and produce scalable, high-purity material streams meeting industrial performance standards. UPLIFT360 is backed by government partners including DASA and leading OEMs, with demonstrator pilots already underway. The company's strategy centers on building circular supply chains that reduce critical raw material dependency and strengthen material sovereignty for Europe's strategic industries. Co-founded by Sam Staincliffe (CEO, materials specialist in defence operations) and Jamie Meighan (COO, 22 years' RAF strategic technology exploitation experience), the team comprises aerospace and defence experts, scientists, circular economy specialists, and engineers. The firm targets complex composite waste streams previously considered unrecyclable, transforming them into next-generation materials for secure, circular supply chains.
