Clean technology company, Mint Innovation has appointed Jason Price as Chief Operating Officer (COO). This key executive role and first U.S hire will accelerate the company’s growth to becoming the world’s leading pioneer of low-carbon technologies recovering circular green minerals from waste.
“Electronics are an integral part of our lives, and there is still work to be done to solve the environmental challenges that come with recycling these products,” said Jason Price, “Mint Innovation produces green gold and copper on-site at its biotechnology facilities, which is a big differentiator in this market and a step in the right direction when building a more sustainable future. I’m excited to join Mint Innovation on their journey to creating a stronger circular economy across the globe.”
Price is responsible for leading the expansion of operations from the Australia and New Zealand, into the United States. He joins with almost three decades of experience in electronic recycling and critical metal recovery with some of the world’s largest recycling companies, including Sims Metal and Sims Recycling Solutions. Most recently as COO for sustainable e-waste recycling company, Camston Wrather.
“Jason has an expansive background in the global metals and e-waste recycling industry and will play a fundamental role in Mint Innovation’s expansion into the United States,” said Will Barker, CEO of Mint Innovation. “We’re thrilled to welcome Jason onto the team at Mint Innovation as we continue our journey in empowering countries and companies to embrace a sustainable future through circular green metals.”
Alongside its vision of building low-carbon biotechnology facilities across the country, Mint Innovation plans to create a strong network of partnerships with electronic manufacturers. The company’s sustainable technology will allow manufacturers to send used circuit boards from electronic waste for recycling, and in return receive raw critical minerals that can be reused for new generations of technology. With data destruction procedures exceeding the current NSA standards, Mint Innovation’s biotechnology is one of the safest e-waste recycling processes for electronic manufacturers worldwide.
The news of Jason’s appointment was also recognised in the Sustainablility Tech Partner's round up earlier this week.
