The partnership will explore how composite materials from a Typhoon aircraft can be broken down and repurposed and how this process could be applied more widely across additional defence platforms.
This initiative builds on our ongoing work to embed sustainability into its operations and collaborate with partners who share a commitment to innovation and environmental responsibility.
Chloe Barker, Managing Director for Babcock’s UK Aviation business, said: “By combining our operational experience with Uplift360’s specialist expertise, we’re working together to support our customers’ sustainability ambitions. This partnership is focused on delivering practical solutions that contribute to more efficient use of resources and strengthen the long-term resilience of UK defence supply chains.”
“This collaboration is a great example of how we can work side by side with small and medium enterprises to deliver meaningful change.”
Sam Staincliffe, Co-founder and CEO of Uplift360, said: “We are delighted to have signed this partnering agreement with Babcock, demonstrating the leading role that Uplift360 can play in the recycling of advanced materials from the defence industry.
"As we create more advanced materials, the waste challenge increases. Uplift360 offers a truly circular option to reuse them sustainably.”
