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

  • Opportunities:

    • Nickel & Cobalt- battery metals

    • Gold - replacing cyanide & toxic solvents

    • Copper & Base Metals - water-free processing

    • Rare Earth Elements - simplify complex processing
