Innovative clean tech brings sustainable metal production back onshore, advancing UK resilience in the global critical minerals race.
DEScycle is proud to announce its membership in the Critical Minerals Association UK (CMA) — a step forward in advancing the UK’s strategic autonomy in critical mineral supply.
As the world faces increasing pressure to secure access to essential raw materials, DEScycle offers a transformative solution: clean, circular metal recovery from e-waste — no smelting, no shipping, no toxic byproducts. By onshoring critical metal production, we’re helping the UK reduce reliance on volatile global supply chains and take control of the materials driving the energy transition.
Our work directly supports the UK's Modern Industrial Strategy, which prioritises securing critical supply chains, scaling low-carbon technologies, and building sovereign capabilities in high-value manufacturing. By enabling environmentally responsible metal production here in the UK, DEScycle contributes to national goals around green growth, clean energy, and industrial resilience.
Our membership in the CMA allows us to:
- Engage directly with UK policymakers on critical mineral security
- Support the reshoring of metal refining through clean, circular methods
- Contribute to standards and practices that safeguard national supply chains
As the UK sharpens its focus on economic and energy independence, DEScycle is uniquely positioned to deliver clean tech infrastructure that meets both climate and security goals.
