The non-toxic solution

Cleaner for us.
Cleaner for the earth.

20-50 Million

Metric tons of e-waste ends up in landfills every year

Heading

The disposal of electrical equipment and devices (e-waste) contain several harmful materials that negatively affect people and the environment - and the amount of e-waste is expected to double by 2050.

Heading

Clean Urban Mining in collaboration with Flinders University, offers a mineral processing technology that removes highly toxic cyanide and acids from the e-waste recovery process. Purpose-built to assist governments, e-waste recycling, metal traders and regulatory bodies, our technology ensures a genuine, non-toxic, and sustainable alternative for precious metal recovery.

The problem

Toxic chemicals that harm people and the environment

Nitric Acid

While nitric acid is considered effective and low cost, the toxic chemical carries a large environmental burden for operators and communities.

Cyanide

Since its introduction into the mining industry, cyanide has been a dangerous technique of metal extraction that has severely affected the environment, with many countries banning its use.

Hydrochloric Acid

Hydrochloric acid has been found to be useful chemicals in the extraction of gold from e-waste, however, any use of acids has potentially harmful effects on people and the environment

Collect PCBs (Printed Circuit Boards); and extract the precious materials in an environmentally friendly way

Thanks to our patented and award winning technology and to our end-to-end non-toxic process, we extract the precious materials from PCBs, without using of any acid or other toxic element.

Transform the precious materials to Gold Nanoparticles and circulate them back to the market

We transform the extracted materials to high value-added products: GOLD NANOPARTICLES .
They are used by the research organizations in universities, and biomedical, pharmaceutical and healthcare industries.

The Bane of Consumerism on Electronic Waste

We are quick to upgrade our devices, blinded by the allure of the newest option on the market, without ever giving a thought to what happens to the ones we leave behind. Tech companies work tirelessly to tempt us with trivial upgrades. This marketing proposition has proven to generate substantial profits for them, time and time again. A class action lawsuit in 2017 accused Apple of intentionally slowing down older models of their phones, in an attempt to pressurise consumers into purchasing a new device.

The Truth Behind Electronic Waste

People are too quick to discard their phones, tablets or laptops for a newer, shinier model. More often than not, they would rather purchase a new device than fix a broken screen. In 2017 alone, 50 million tons of electronic waste were disposed of. This number has increased a great deal since. In 2012, US$206 billion was spent on purchasing electronic devices in the U.S, however, only an appalling 29% of the resulting e-waste generated had been recycled.
