More than recycling, Fairmat is building a new industrial standard.
Our mission is to turn carbon fiber waste into scalable, high-performance recycled materials — with no compromise on performance, cost, or sustainability. We exist to keep valuable materials out of landfills and in the heart of product design, creating a closed-loop ecosystem where growth and impact can finally coexist.Fairmat is not just an advanced material company: it is an operating system for industrial circularity — combining robotics, AI, and data to build smarter factories and better supply chains.
Our Mission
“Materials are the foundation of every industrial product. Disrupting the way they are made means reshaping entire industries — for the planet, for consumers, and for future generations.”
Benjamin Saada - CEO & Founder
How it all began
Fairmat was founded in 2020 with a simple question: What if carbon fiber waste wasn’t an end, but a beginning?
At the time, most composite waste was incinerated or buried. We decided to create a radical alternative.
agile, automated, software-driven.
a patented cold plasma process that makes carbon fiber endlessly recyclable.
the digital “building blocks” of new, high-performance materials.
In just four years, we have opened factories in France and the US, signed contracts with global leaders in sport, mobility, and energy, and raised more than 100$ millions to scale our vision.
How we work
Achieving our mission requires us to attract and empower the best talent in deeptech, software, and industry.
Our culture is anchored in industrial excellence and transparency — we don’t just talk about impact, we measure it: in tons of waste recycled, CO₂ avoided, and costs reduced for our partners.
Pragmatism
we exist to close the loop on carbon fiber, at scale.
Customer-led & system-driven
every decision is tied to industrial outcomes.
Excellence like athletes
precision, discipline, and continuous improvement.
Radical transparency
we share data, mistakes, and progress openly.
Augmented collective
humans and AI working together, stronger as a system.
Learning through friction
every failure documented, every iteration shared.
Is Fairmat for me?
We continue to build a culture where Fairmatters feel a strong sense of belonging — not because it’s easy, but because the mission is worth it.
A strong, mission-aligned culture doesn’t suit everyone. That’s why we are clear about who thrives here:
What makes a Fairmatter
Pioneers
Builders
Single contributor, but team player
Resilient optimists
What kind of environment is it?
A place to thrive
we reward fairly, encourage transparency, and value diversity.
A place to grow
we offer real opportunities. Career paths are non-linear, crossing industries and functions.
A place to shape the future
from the factory floor to the boardroom, every Fairmatter contributes to redefining materials. We know it’s corny but you need to kind of want to change the world of manufacturing and consuming products.
