Bringing
metal back
to life.
The revolution of metal recycling starts now
Humanity is facing a critical challenge. The world is electrifying at an accelerating rate, which exponentially increases the demand for rare metals. In ensuring the sufficient availability of metals, efficient recycling is not an option. It is a necessity.
Based on cooperation between Alva, Elker and Tapojärvi, Zero Mine is a pioneering circular economy company that extracts metals without mining. With our patented technology, we separate critical metals from electronic waste and return them to industry clean and of a high-grade – again and again.
Our unique hydrometallurgical process enables a more efficient, precise and low-carbon recovery of metals, reducing the need to extract them from the ground. The yield of our process is almost a hundred times higher than the yield of mining.
