Sourcing materials can be one of the most challenging aspects of building resilient supply chains. Uplift360’s approach is to build systems to make the most of what we already have. The company’s primary focus today is carbon fibre, an essential component of just about every vehicle and vessel being produced today. It requires fossil fuels to produce from scratch — a costly and interdependent ecosystem. The self-described “deep chemistry” startup has come up with an alternative: instead of old carbon fibre parts from broken or obsolete planes, drones, ground vehicles and ships going to landfill, chemical compounds get applied to the materials to produce ‘virgin’ carbon fibre, ready to be made into new products. It’s the circular economy applied to defence and resilience. IL
