Bill Yost's full circle journey with Reclinker

Cambridge Tech Podcast latest episode is with Bill Yost talking cement, startups, and the differences in building businesses either side of the Atlantic. Cement is the second most used material on Earth with 4 billion tonnes produced annually, and conventional cement production accounts for 7% of global CO2 emissions. If the cement industry were a country, it would rank behind only the US and China in carbon output. That's the scale of the opportunity.Enter Reclinker, a Cambridge-based startup that converts reclaimed cement into clinker using electric arc furnaces already used in steel recycling. Rather than building expensive new infrastructure, they're partnering with existing steel manufacturers. Bill talks about the funding journey, how to demonstrate the process at industrial scale, and how they have secured important supply chain agreements.Whether you're fascinated by climate tech, curious about fundraising strategy, or interested in how to build in Cambridge's ecosystem, this episode delivers real insights from someone who's done it multiple times, on both continents.Tune in on your preferred podcast platform and subscribe to join the weekly conversation.
