Sustainable Resource Recovery

How we work

Technology Development

Our team of experts harnesses their deep knowledge and access to extensive literature data to drive the ideation process. Each idea is subjected to rigorous validation through lab, bench, and pilot-scale experiments, ensuring practical viability. This method thrives on close collaboration between equipment and technology suppliers and the final users, allowing for a seamless exchange of insights and expertise. By leveraging these partnerships, we optimize the development of innovative solutions that meet specific needs, ultimately fostering a productive synergy that enhances overall project outcomes. Through this comprehensive approach, we not only refine our ideas but also ensure they are grounded in practicality and tailored to real-world applications.

Business Development

As technology develops, business development activities continue to seek potential suppliers and off-takers for the materials that flow in and out of the technology's boundaries. This ongoing effort creates a vital feedback loop for the technical team, allowing them to assess whether the alternatives being considered are commercially viable. By engaging with market stakeholders, the tech team gains insights into the practicality and attractiveness of different options, ensuring that the technological advancements are aligned with market needs. This collaboration between business development and technology not only enhances the innovation process but also helps in optimizing the overall supply chain strategy, ultimately fostering a more sustainable and economically sound approach to technological enhancement.

Digitalization

In today's fast-paced technological landscape, the use of diverse simulation tools and artificial intelligence is revolutionizing how we approach innovation. By continuously modeling and simulating newly developed technologies and their corresponding business strategies, we can create digital twins that mirror these ideas in a virtual environment. This allows for examination and analysis against various conditions, helping to identify potential challenges and opportunities before physical implementation. The iterative process of testing, refining, and validating these concepts in a virtual space not only enhances decision-making but also accelerates the development cycle. By leveraging these advanced technologies, businesses can significantly increase their chances of success.

Battery Recycling

We focus on recovery of critical elements from waste streams to create viable business cases.

Battery recycling is crucial in Europe due to the increasing reliance on portable electronic devices and electric vehicles, which contribute to the growing number of discarded batteries. Recycling batteries helps to recover valuable materials like lithium, cobalt, and nickel, thereby reducing the need for new mining activities that can be environmentally damaging. Additionally, proper recycling mitigates the risk of hazardous substances leaking into the environment, which can lead to soil and water pollution. Europe has implemented strict regulations to promote battery recycling, aiming to ensure that a significant percentage of batteries are collected and processed. By enhancing recycling efforts, Europe not only moves towards a more sustainable circular economy but also reduces its carbon footprint and dependence on foreign resources. Thus, battery recycling is a vital step toward environmental protection and resource conservation in the continent.

Process Technology

Transform waste into valuable resources through innovative recycling and valorization strategies for sustainability.

Our innovative process technology guarantees an impressive recovery rate of over 90% of critical elements utilized in cathode active materials. This remarkable efficiency not only enhances the sustainability of our production methods but also contributes significantly to the conservation of valuable resources. By ensuring that such a high percentage of essential elements is recovered, we minimize waste and promote a circular economy within the battery industry. Through continuous improvement and advanced techniques, we strive to remain at the forefront of this critical field, ensuring that our processes not only meet industry demands but also foster a more sustainable future.

Final Products

Extract critical minerals from various resources, ensuring applications contribute to circular economy and profitability.

The final products of this innovative process are designed for direct use in the production of battery cathode materials, with the ultimate aim of developing the cathode active material itself. By ensuring that all byproducts are channeled to other partners for further processing and upcycling, the initiative adheres to a zero-waste philosophy. This commitment not only promotes sustainability but also guarantees the complete valorization of all material streams involved. Through this comprehensive approach, the industry can significantly reduce waste while maximizing the potential of every resource, ultimately contributing to more efficient and environmentally friendly battery production.

We ensure all by-products have marketable uses while promoting sustainable development and waste management.

The innovative processing technology we have implemented significantly reduces our necessary processing costs, positioning us favorably in the market. By establishing strategic off-take agreements with feedstock suppliers and end product users, we have created a robust business model that enhances profitability. This synergy not only ensures a steady supply chain but also guarantees demand for our products, making our business case exceptionally strong and attractive to potential investors. The combination of cutting-edge technology and strategic partnerships allows us to operate efficiently while maximizing returns, ultimately solidifying our competitive edge in the industry.

Business Case

Phosphorous Recovery

Innovative projects focusing on recycling and waste valorization technologies.

Critical Elements

Recovery from waste streams for sustainable applications and profitability.

Phosphorus is an essential metal with finite natural mining resources, making its recovery and recycling from waste streams critically important. Current technologies for phosphorus recovery often yield low-value products, limiting their overall efficiency. In contrast, our innovative process technology effectively utilizes both waste streams and low-value outputs from other phosphorus recovery methods, transforming them into high-value final products. These recovered materials can be easily valorized, serving as fertilizers or similar applications, thereby not only enhancing resource efficiency but also promoting sustainable practices in phosphorus management. By optimizing recovery processes, we contribute to a circular economy and help mitigate the environmental impacts associated with phosphorus scarcity.
