Metals

Electronic waste is a great, sustainable source for metals used in everyday manufacturing.

Different components in electronics require different metals. In the average printed circuit, we find tantalum, nickel, aluminum, copper, silver, gold, platinum and many more.

Our process isn't just 'green' in regard to keeping things out of the landfills- the production of metals as a whole is much more efficient from e-waste than from traditional mining. Statistically, it may take as much as 1 ton of ore to produce one gram of gold. With our processes, we can produce this from just a few pounds of electronic devices, collecting and purifying other metals in the process.
