Elmery Named Finalist in World Economic Forum’s Sustainable Mining Challenge
Mining the Unmined: Smarter metal recovery from non-primary sources
Elmery has been named a finalist in the World Economic Forum’s “Sustainable Mining – Mining the Unmined” challenge, recognizing our innovative, low-impact approach to recovering critical metals. The challenge highlights technologies that extract value from non-primary sources – like tailings and industrial side streams – to reduce the need for new mining and support growing global demand.
Elmery’s Solution: Clean recovery through electrical precision
At Elmery, we’ve reimagined metal recovery. Rather than relying on heavy chemical processing, we use precise electrical pulses to extract metals like copper, platinum, iridium, and others – achieving over 99% recovery rates with minimal energy, minimal waste, and minimal chemicals.
- More metals, less waste
- Lower CO₂ emissions
- Fewer harmful chemicals
- A truly circular and sustainable metals economy
Mining the Unmined, for Real
Elmery’s technology turns underutilized resources into valuable metals. We don’t just talk about circularity – we enable it. By optimizing resource efficiency and minimizing environmental impact, Elmery is helping shape a smarter, cleaner, and truly circular metal industry.
