Building a
carbon-smart future

About

Founded in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, Aeroborn is pioneering the circular carbon economy. We're building the bridge between today's waste streams and tomorrow's essential materials, proving that environmental sustainability and industrial innovation are not just compatible—they're inseparable.

Our Story

It Started with a Simple Question

We started to see a complete dependence on Asian supply chains and the mounting waste crisis from battery recycling. Meanwhile, industrial CO₂ emissions continued unabated, treated as a problem to hide rather than a resource to harness.

The question was simple: What if we could transform these two waste streams into the very materials Europe desperately needs?

That question became Aeroborn.

We developed our breakthrough molten salt technology—a process that could gently extract and transform carbon from any waste stream. What began as an experiment has evolved into a platform capable of producing essential materials for the green economy.

Today, we're not just recycling waste or capturing carbon. We're building Europe's first truly circular carbon materials company, turning environmental liabilities into strategic assets.

Our Mission

To establish Aeroborn as a global leader in circular carbon materials, transforming waste streams into high-performance products that power the sustainable economy.

We believe that the path to net zero isn't just about reducing emissions—it's about reimagining waste as assets, creating value chains that regenerate rather than deplete, and proving that the best materials don't come from the ground, but from the circular economy.

Our Values

Innovation with Purpose

We don't innovate for innovation's sake. Every breakthrough must solve real problems, create tangible value, and contribute to a sustainable future.

Circular by Design

Linear thinking created today's challenges. Circular thinking will solve them. We design every process, product, and partnership with circularity at its core.

Transparent Impact

We measure success not just in profits, but in tons of waste transformed, emissions prevented, and sustainable jobs created. Our impact is real, measurable, and transparent.

Collaborative Growth

The challenges we face are too big for any one company. We grow by lifting others—partners, communities, and competitors—toward a shared sustainable future.

Commitment to Sustainability

Aeroborn transforms CO₂ emissions and battery waste into high-performance materials that outperform virgin resources. By 2030, we will capture and utilize hundreds of thousands of tons of industrial emissions while recycling significant volumes of battery waste, achieving net-negative operations and dramatically reducing the need for virgin material extraction. This isn't about offsetting—it's about transformation at scale, proving that the path to net-zero runs through net-positive innovation.

Our commitment extends beyond environmental metrics. We're creating hundreds of jobs across Europe while building a diverse, inclusive workforce. By significantly reducing the continent's dependence on imported materials, we're strengthening both environmental resilience and strategic autonomy. Through our integrated approach—where profitability drives sustainability—we're demonstrating that the most powerful climate solutions create value across all dimensions: planet, people, and prosperity.
