We transform e-waste to clean products, using an innovative methodology and a patented technology
CRUSHING AND SEPARATION
We use standard mechanical processes to separate imbedded metals from the plastic fiber. Plastic fiber can then be recycled.
LEACHING
Our patented leaching process uses a non-toxic reagent that is no more harmful than pool chemicals. We have an end-to-end process that does NOT use toxic acids
RECOVERY
Our patented polymer extracts metal from the leach solution.
This polymer has won the Australian Prime Ministers Award for scientific innovation and uses Elemental Sulfur and Vegetable Oil as its base.
Polymer Production: Elemental Sulfur is
combined and processed with renewable
plant oils to create our polymer. This polymer is prepared using inverse vulcanization which is distinct
from most synthetic polymers.
Reactive Compression Moulding: Under
compression the polymer can be used create 100% recyclable material that can be used for multiple things. By combining the polymer with different waste streams such as eWaste fibre, plastics, carbon fibre etc, new construction materials can be created.
Catalytic Adhesion Repair Under compression the polymer can be used to create a 100% recyclable material that can be used for multiple things. In addition, due to the molecular make up of the polymer it is possible to create a repairable rubber. Using a catalyst, once 2 pieces have been joined the piece of rubber is as strong as it was prior to breaking.
Urban mining helps reduce the mountains of waste onto which e-waste has been dumped and approaches the processing of e-waste in a much cleaner manner than was the case until recently, resulting in positive consequences for people and the planet.
As it becomes more economically interesting to recover raw materials, more manufacturers are no longer selling products that end up in landfills, but they are rather putting products on the market that can be efficiently recycled and reused, creating a circular economy.
An up to 50 times higher concentration of valuable metals and minerals per tonne can be found in electrical and electronic waste than in the ores extracted from mines.
