Our Goal
GCS Fiber’s mission is to deliver a transformative solution that addresses two of the nation’s most pressing needs: revitalization of U.S. advanced manufacturing and responsible coal ash remediation and management. Through our Coal-Ash-to-Mineral-Fiber technology, GCS Fibers transforms large-scale industrial waste into high-performance materials that support critical American industries including packaging, transportation, textiles, automotive manufacturing, composites, construction, and aerospace.
By converting coal ash into six classes of safe, high-quality mineral fibers, GCS Fibers provides the United States with a new domestic supply chain that reduces reliance on foreign imports, strengthens national security, and supports long-term economic competitiveness. This platform positions the nation to reclaim millions of tons of legacy waste while simultaneously powering a new generation of American manufacturing growth.
A Technology Aligned With National Priorities
The growing need to remediate coal ash ponds and landfills—many of which are located near disadvantaged or overburdened communities—creates both an urgent environmental imperative and a historic economic opportunity. GCS Fibers delivers a solution that directly supports federal goals for:
Environmental cleanup and restoration
Advanced domestic manufacturing
Supply Chain Security and independence
Industrial decarbonization
Community revitalization
Job creation in transitioning coal regions
Our technology provides utilities, state agencies, and federal partners with a scalable pathway to safely and permanently eliminate coal ash liabilities while generating valuable industrial materials for downstream U.S. producers.
A National Commitment to Partnership
GCS Fibers is committed to working collaboratively with:
Federal, state, and local governments
Utility providers and energy producers
Environmental and public health agencies
Tribal nations, where applicable
Workforce development agencies and educational institutions
Community Development organizations
Manufacturers and industrial customers
Through these partnerships, GCS Fibers helps create durable economic value while supporting improved environmental outcomes and a stronger, more resilient industrial base.
Driving Sustainable Economic Growth
Each GCS Fibers facility serves as a long-term anchor for regional economic revitalization. Our operations create:
High-quality, family-sustaining jobs

With a national deployment strategy planned across multiple regions, GCS Fibers is positioned to support thousands of direct and indirect jobs while enabling communities to transition toward cleaner, more sustainable economic futures.
A Solution the Nation Needs Now
The United States faces an unprecedented opportunity to simultaneously address legacy environmental challenges and rebuild domestic manufacturing strength. GCS Fibers’ technology is uniquely positioned to help achieve both.
Our commitment is clear: to work hand-in-hand with federal agencies, utilities, communities, and industry partners to responsibly remediate and manage coal ash, strengthen U.S. supply chains, energize advanced manufacturing, and deliver long-lasting economic and environmental benefits across the country.
GCS Fibers stands ready to help the nation accelerate cleanup, boost competitiveness, and build a safer, more prosperous future for all.
