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
-
The World's fastest growing waste stream
-
Growing to US$82bn annually by 2030
-
Many critical and precious metals are contained within e-waste, making e-waste valuable but environmentally hazardous
-
The Descycle process has been developed as a disruptive & clean alternative to current high-impact & capital intensive recycling methods
-
Descycle is working with multiple metals & mining partners to solve inherent industry problems to supply critical and battery metals that will underpin the transition to a low carbon economy
