New generation circular metals
Recovering closed-loop recycled metals from end-of-life printed circuit boards to enable circular and traceable supply chains.
The growing demand for sustainable local resources
01
National security
Countries increasingly see securing supply of critical metals as a strategic advantage to support key industries and defence capabilities.
02
Futureproofed supply chains
As the planet’s natural reserves of critical metals like copper, cobalt, nickel and lithium deplete, mining is no longer a sustainable method to source them. Reliance on foreign supplies can create supply chain vulnerabilities.
03
Consumer demand
As awareness of environmental issues such as the global e-waste challenge increases, consumers are becoming more intentional and choosing to purchase from companies that use sustainable materials.
04
Sustainability
Many of the world’s largest corporations have committed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and strengthen carbon reporting to meet both regulatory requirements and sustainability goals.
“We’re focused on finding practical ways to increase the use of recycled materials in our products, and that starts with the ability to verify where materials come from and how they perform.
Independent certification like Mint’s innovative process helps validate what’s possible and builds confidence as circular manufacturing continues to scale.”
