Industry Problem

Fairmat is tackling the problem of carbon fiber waste by transforming discarded CFRP materials into high-performance recycled composites, reducing landfill impact and promoting circular design.

R&D Focus

Fairmat’s R&D focuses on deeptech recycling and material science, specifically in carbon fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRP). Their niche lies in developing proprietary AI- and robotics-driven processes to convert carbon composite waste into high-performance, sustainable materials for use in demanding sectors such as mobility, energy, sports, and electronics.

Innovative Solution

Fairmat addresses the challenge of carbon fiber waste by employing its proprietary Infinity Recycling technology, a cold atmospheric plasma process that selectively removes resin from composite materials, preserving the integrity of carbon fibers for reuse. This method, combined with advanced robotics and AI-driven systems, enables the transformation of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) waste into high-performance, sustainable materials. These recycled composites maintain the strength and lightweight properties of virgin carbon fiber, making them suitable for applications across industries such as sports, energy, automotive, and electronics, while significantly reducing environmental impact and promoting a circular economy.

Solution Effectiveness

Fairmat’s recycling solution significantly reduces environmental impact by transforming carbon fiber waste into high-performance materials. Their mechanical recycling process emits approximately 9 times less CO₂ than thermal recycling methods such as pyrolysis . Additionally, Fairmat’s recycled composites have a carbon footprint of about 4 kg CO₂e per kilogram, compared to 7 kg CO₂e for virgin carbon fiber, offering a substantial reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. Overall, Fairmat’s approach provides a more sustainable alternative to traditional recycling methods, aligning with circular economy principles.

Demo Product or Complete Product?

Fairmat has officially launched its first product, FairPly™, a revolutionary recycled composite material that reduces CO2 emissions by up to 90% compared to virgin carbon fiber. Unveiled at a keynote event at the Eiffel Tower, FairPly™ integrates advanced technologies such as AI, robotics, and computer vision to deliver high performance, cost-effectiveness, and circularity. Alongside FairPly™, Fairmat introduced its Infinite Recycling technology, enabling endless recycling of its materials without quality loss. Fairmat’s products are already in use, including in collaboration with DPS Skis, with production scaling planned to reach 300 tons annually by 2028 from facilities in France and the USA.

Future Plan

Market Expansion

Recognizing the growing demand for sustainable materials in Asia, Fairmat is exploring expansion opportunities in the region by collaborating with companies such as Siemens Gamesa and Dassault Aviation to position them well for entry into Asian markets.
