Sustainability

Solving a Rapidly Escalating
Global Problem

A record 62 million tonnes of e-waste was produced globally in 2022—up 82% from 2010. E-waste is growing 5x faster than documented recycling rates. Greentech provides the low-emission solution.

The Market Reality

+32% Growth

E-waste generation is projected to rise significantly, on track to reach 82 million tonnes globally by 2030.

<22% Recycled

Currently, only a fraction of e-waste is formally collected. This documented recycling rate is actually falling toward 20% by 2030.

1% Rare Earths

Billions in strategically valuable resources are landfilled. Just 1% of rare earth metal demand is currently met via recycling.

Lower Risk Than Mining and Smelting

Greentech removes the significant environmental, social, and capital risks associated with traditional extraction and legacy pyrometallurgical processing.

Carbon Credit Eligible

Our environmental credentials go beyond simply avoiding harm. Because the Greentech hydrometallurgical sequence utilizes an incredibly low energy footprint and eliminates combustion entirely, our plants are eligible to generate and monetize carbon credits.
We process 7,000 TPA of PCBs at each concentrator, utilizing an abundant and troublesome waste stream. Metals are recovered and recycled endlessly at full purity, stopping the devastating cycle of strip mining and smelting.

A Safer Global Alternative

Outside of highly regulated commercial smelting, artisanal recycling remains the industry’s largest source of harmful environmental discharge. The informal dismantling of e-waste exposes vulnerable communities to heavy metals and toxic fumes.
Greentech provides a formalized, closed-loop process that can be deployed rapidly worldwide. By capturing and safely processing e-waste through our hub-and-spoke model, we mitigate the significant community and environmental remediation liability seen globally.
