OUR STORY
Descycle was founded in 2018 with the sole mission of commercialising a revolutionary new class of chemistry, developed by the University of Leicester, Deep Eutectic Solvents (DES).
DES have a very broad scope of potential applications across multiple industries and Descycle is focused on developing processes that will; have the highest environmental impact, that address the UN’s sustainable development goals, & have sufficient economic development scaling potential to generate over U$1 billion revenue per annum.
OUR MISSION
Reducing The Impact of Metals Production
"We founded Descycle when we saw the gigantic impact DES could have on the metals industry.
Not only can we replace toxic chemicals, such as cyanide, but we by-pass the use of smelters, which will translate to metals with a far smaller carbon footprint.
The Descycle Process developed for e-waste has the potential to a be zero carbon process, and is remarkably capital light. Attributes that will be game changing for the recycling industry"
