Transforming waste plastic into advanced nanomaterials

TrimTabs manufactures high-purity carbon nanotubes from waste plastic, creating sustainable solutions for next-generation technologies.

Who we are

TrimTabs is a pioneering nanotechnology company based in Cambridge, UK. We are researchers, engineers, and environmental scientists dedicated to transforming the carbon nanotube industry through sustainable innovation.

Our multidisciplinary team combines expertise in materials science, chemical engineering, and environmental technology to develop breakthrough solutions that address both industrial needs and environmental challenges.

What we do

We manufacture high-purity carbon nanotubes (CNTs) from waste plastic feedstock, creating valuable nanomaterials while addressing the global plastic waste crisis.

From custom nanotube production to on-site facility installation and technology licensing, we provide comprehensive solutions for industries seeking to integrate advanced nanomaterials.

Our technology

Our patented production technology enables the synthesis of multiple CNT configurations—from multi-walled CNTs (MWCNTs) to single-walled CNTs (SWCNTs)—using a wide range of plastic waste as feedstock.

The process offers unparalleled flexibility in feedstock selection, exceptional scalability from laboratory to industrial production, and CNT purity levels that meet or exceed industry standards.
