Recycling & Valorization
of Space Materials
Rethinking the end of life of materials in space
The space sector is experiencing exponential growth, but with it comes a new challenge: the management and recovery of materials from space activities. Until now, the waste generated by the space industry - whether in orbit or on Earth - has been little reused and insufficiently integrated into a circular approach.
At Cosmos for Humanity, we are actively working on developing a new initiative to address this issue. Our objective: to redefine the future of space materials by proposing innovative and sustainable solutions, while integrating an ethical and environmental dimension.
Soon a solution for a more sustainable space
We have defined the key areas of the project and are in the implementation phase with our strategic partners from the space and circular economy sectors. This initiative aims to explore concrete solutions for:
-
Identifying and categorizing materials that can be recovered and reused.
-
Developing technological approaches adapted to the recycling of space components.
-
Promoting the integration of reusable materials in the design of future missions.
-
Create a common framework for reflection for a more circular space industry.
This approach is part of a long-term vision, with the aim of reducing the environmental footprint of the space sector while promoting responsible innovation.
