Mari Lundström Awarded Alfred Kordelin Prize for Green Transition
Elmery Celebrates Mari Lundström’s Recognition in the Green Shift with Alfred Kordelin Prize

Elmery is proud to celebrate the recognition of our co-founder and Chief Advisor, Mari Lundström, with the distinguished Alfred Kordelin Prize. This honor highlights Mari’s transformative contributions to the field of sustainable metallurgy and reflects the strength of Elmery’s team in advancing innovative solutions to address the growing demand for precious metal recovery in an environmentally responsible way.
Mari Lundström has made significant advancements in addressing the complex challenges of critical metal recovery. Her expertise includes the recovery of valuable metals from battery materials and e-waste – sources that present unique challenges due to their composition. These materials often contain multiple metals in low concentrations, making traditional recovery methods economically unviable.
Through innovative approaches, including patented techniques co-developed with her colleagues, Mari has developed the way for advanced metal recovery solutions. The key example is the application of tailored pulsed electricity to separate metals from solutions. This technology has set new standards in addressing the growing global demand for critical raw materials.
With leaders like Mari Lundström, Elmery continues to innovate and set standards in the field of modern metallurgy. Her recognition is a testament to our team’s ability to deliver value while advancing global sustainability goals.
