Transforming e-waste into future opportunities
We’re securing supply of critical and valuable metals including copper and gold recovered from printed circuit boards to power clean manufacturing and developing technologies.
Responsibly sourced metals from printed circuit boards
01
Low impact
Our scientifically proven process uses ambient temperatures to produce significantly less carbon emissions compared to traditional methods.
02
Locally processed
We collect and process e-waste close to its source, preventing metals from being exported where value can’t be recovered or to regions unequipped to safely manage it.
03
Circular
Green metals recovered are reintroduced into local supply chains to support the manufacturing demands of current and emerging industries such as clean energy and AI.
04
Traceable and transparent
Our local processing means we create a clear chain of custody and full visibility on how and where metals are sourced.
Combining natural biomass and smart chemistry
Material is prepared for processing
Printed circuit boards are milled in a fine sand consistency to increase surface area. An initial reaction takes place to dissolve and recover base metals.
Copper is extracted
Using a conventional electrochemical process, we recover large sheets of pure copper from the solution.
Gold and other precious metals are extracted
To the remaining solution, we add Mint's patented natural biomass which binds to precious metal particles like a sponge. The material recovered is then further refined to produce commodity grade gold.
Metals are used in technology manufacturing
Metals are used to manufacture new technology. Once it reaches it's end of life again, circuit boards inside can be returned to our facility and reprocessed.
Circular green metals are needed for growing economies
Growing demand for critical metals
Demand for critical metals like copper continues as technology develops and natural resources deplete, widening the supply gap.
Export and landfilling of e-waste
Exporting or landfilling e-waste means metals within are lost and could potentially harm to other communities and ecosystems due to their nature.
Carbon intensive existing processes
Existing methods of sourcing metals such as mining and smelting produce high amounts of carbon emissions.
