Pioneering circular metals to restore our planet
The world needs circular metals to power future industries
6.6 Mt
global supply shortage of copper is expected by 2040
22.3%
of globally generated e‑waste is collected or recycled
10%*
of global greenhouse gas emissions are a result of mining, smelting and refining to produce metals ready for industrial use.
*Approximate figure, according to Energy & Environmental Science, 2022.
Leading the way with innovative waste-to-value solutions
Technology
We create low impact solutions recovering critical and valuable metals from complex waste streams, including printed circuit boards and lithium-ion batteries.
Facilities
Mint’s city-scale facilities process electronic waste locally to ensure faster processing times, secure data destruction and faster returns for recyclers.
Circular Metals
We produce circular metals that are essential for advancing future industries.
The future is circular
Lower carbon
Our hydrometallurgy processes use low temperatures, producing lower carbon emissions compared to traditional smelting technologies.
Circular supply
Metals recovered from our facilities can be returned to domestic manufacturing industries to create a closed loop supply chain.
Local processing
Our facilities are designed to fit into existing city infrastructure. This means we can process waste near its source and keep critical metals onshore.
Stronger economies
We create high quality jobs in a sustainable industry and help to strengthen onshore manufacturing capabilities.
Scalable technology
Our facilities and technology are modular and can be scaled to fit into different structures and cities to meet evolving demands.
Safe and secure disposal
We offer a safe way to dispose of IP and data sensitive assets. Our technology is compliant with institutional data destruction standards.
How we transform waste into the circular resources of the future
Electronic waste is collected
End-of-life electronics are delivered to one of Mint’s local metal recovery facilities and prepared for processing.

The waste is processed using Mint’s patented technology
Using our proprietary metal recovery technology, we can selectively extract critical and valuable metals without using any high heat smelting.

Circular metals are produced
The waste material is taken through a low impact and smart chemistry process to extract key metals within.

These metals can be returned to local economies
We help keep the value onshore to return to manufacturing supply chains.
