Fairmat, a frontrunner in carbon composite recycling, has raised an additional 10 million from Infinity Recycling to accelerate the global expansion of its sustainable materials. Just seven months after securing 51.5 million, the new funding will fast-track industrialization at its French and US plants, meet rising cross-industry demand, and reinforce Fairmat s ambition to establish a fully circular supply chain by 2027.

Circular Plastics Fund, a 175 million Luxembourg fund managed from Rotterdam, has companies in its portfolio in the United States, Canada, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, France, and Germany (9 investments, 8 countries). The fund backs companies deploying disruptive technologies to recycle complex materials and reduce global dependence on virgin resources.

With its investment in Fairmat, the fund reaffirms its intention to strengthen its presence in France ahead of launching a second, more globally focused fund in 2026.

Jeroen Kelder, Managing Partner at Infinity Recycling says, "Our investment in Fairmat demonstrates our conviction that sustainable materials represent the future of industry, and our enthusiasm for the company's business model. With its groundbreaking technology, Fairmat is addressing one of the biggest environmental challenges, composite waste, while creating high value-added recycled products. This investment - our first in France, a country with an ambitious industrial policy - demonstrates our commitment to fostering the transition towards a more sustainable industry and to support Fairmat's ambition to establish itself as a global leader in sustainable materials through advanced robotics, artificial intelligence, and recycling technologies."

A twist of fate: investor Infinity Recycling shares its name with Fairmat's patented process, which can recycle carbon fibers almost indefinitely.

Fairmat: Spectacular Industrial Acceleration

Since its last fundraising round, Fairmat has launched production much earlier than expected, with an unprecedented ramp-up: between 6,000 and 10,000 m2 of materials produced each month, the equivalent of three football fields transformed into circular composites every month.

This acceleration confirms the company's industrial expertise, which deploys a unique approach combining Al, robotics, and circularity on a large scale.

Artificial intelligence is embedded throughout Fairmat's operations, from design to production, enabling robots to continuously learn and optimize movements. This new industrial model reduces costs, improves material quality, and enhances the competitiveness of sustainable materials.

Benjamin Saada, founder and CEO of Fairmat states, "We started production earlier than planned this year, proof of the strength of our industrial model. Perfect timing to fulfill customer orders. The arrival of Infinity Recycling, a leading European investor in circularity, allows us to accelerate even further. This step confirms that France remains a key and fertile market for industrial and environmental innovation. Together with them, we are laying the foundations for a high-performing and competitive European circular industry."

A Strong Signal for French Industrial Deep Tech

In a very tense global context, France is establishing itself as an attractive ecosystem for international investors. For Infinity Recycling, investing in Fairmat also means betting on a team of excellence, a global market worth several hundred billion euros, and a rare capacity for execution. The fund intends to attract more French investors to its next vehicle, scheduled for 2026.
