Recoveringmetalsfromwaste.

DEScycle's metals processing platform recovers precious metals and critical metals from e-waste, AI infrastructure hardware and emerging waste streams.
Urban mining

The world's fastest growing waste stream

Global e-waste generation will exceed $130bn p.a.by 2030

$130bn

78% of e-waste is not recycled; due to lack of economic incentivization at local scale

E-waste

Electronic waste is one of the richest untapped sources of recoverable metals on the planet. Every year, millions of discarded devices, legacy systems, and obsolete electronics are lost despite containing critical metals already refined, distributed, and sitting above ground.
  • Global e-waste volumes are rising far faster than recycling capacity.
  • 78% of material still escapes formal recovery and is lost to landfill or informal flows.
  • 2030 TAM - $130Bn
E-waste volumes are rising 5x faster than recycling capacity.

AI hardware

The AI boom depends on physical hardware: servers, processors, power systems, and networking equipment. These assets have short upgrade cycles, complex material composition, and increasing strategic value once they reach end of life.
  • Rapid AI deployment is creating a new wave of concentrated, high-value hardware waste.
  • Retired data centre equipment contains metals that can be recovered and reintroduced into supply chains.
  • 2030 TAM - $7Bn
Future applications

Emerging waste streams

Solar

Solar PV deployment is accelerating globally, creating a future wave of end-of-life panels rich in recoverable materials.2030 TAM - $11Bn

Batteries

Battery systems are central to electrification and grid storage, and recovering their embedded metals will be essential to resilient supply chains.2030 TAM - $23Bn

Magnets

Permanent magnets are critical to motors, turbines, and advanced electronics, making them an increasingly strategic secondary resource.2030 TAM - $5Bn
