TRANSFORMING THE METALS INDUSTRY WITH CLEAN TECHNOLOGY
WHAT WE DO
DEScycle is a deep tech company that aims to transform the metals industry. We create innovative metal recovery & recycling methods using eco-friendly Deep Eutectic Solvents (DES).
These non-toxic, non-water-based salts allow for low-temperature, low-energy operations; resulting in low-carbon, low-impact metals.
DEScycle's goal is to end the reliance upon high-energy pollutive smelters, toxic chemicals and strong acids in the metals industry.
OUR MARKETS
