Reclinker raises £10m Series A to scale recycled cement
Clean Growth Fund and AP Ventures co-lead the Cambridge spin-out’s production expansion in Cardiff.
Reclinker announced a £10 million Series A on 5 October 2026, co-led by Clean Growth Fund and AP Ventures. Development Bank of Wales, Kibo Invest, Zero Carbon Capital and Cambridge Enterprise also participated.
The University of Cambridge spin-out recovers cement paste from demolition waste and turns it into new clinker in electric arc furnaces used for steel recycling. It has run production trials at 7 Steel UK’s Cardiff plant and secured initial commercial sales.
The investment will scale production in Cardiff and support skilled jobs in South Wales. Reclinker also plans to replicate its process at additional electric arc furnace sites in Europe and the United States.
