Embrace artificial intelligence and robotics to automate disassembly and processing of electronic waste using our REE-selective process.

Our innovative approach involves recycling PV cells by integrating techniques that maximize material recovery while promoting sustainability

Use ADR technology to recover REE from low-value e-waste sources increasing their value and thereby incentivizing greater capture/recycling.

Functionalized silk mesoporous membranes and sponges to specifically sequester REEs from e-waste streams and industrial wastewater.

A mobile bio-chemical processing facility will travel to key hubs in rural areas after concentrating waste with existing social networks.

Cobalt and lithium from e-scrap batteries will be reused in new manufacturing providing a closed loop domestic supply of critical elements.

Our goal is to standardize condition grading, streamline sorting, and automate pricing and resale for the IT Asset Disposition industry.

Use UPC barcode, QR code or image recognition to scan e-waste and learn how to dispose of it based on your location and get rewarded for it

Our innovation targets e-scrap recovery in Appalachia by leveraging community connections, mobile collection events, and repair workshops.

A major barrier to electronic device reuse is data security concerns. Our idea is to design a comprehensive and secure data-wiping process.

We plan to use microorganisms to extract Ga from GaN/GaAs chips. This method is aimed at replacing traditional hydrometallurgy.

Visia is the first solution for e-scrap facilities capable of finding batteries in waste streams, irrespective of burden depth.

Our steel bins with secure lids & smart tech safely manage lithium batteries & e-waste, reducing fire risks & boosting recycling efficiency

This project develops a hybrid method that involves sequential thermal cycling and mechanical resonance vibration for E-waste separation

We combine molten salt pyrolysis and hydrometallurgical processes to integrate critical material separation and recovery from e-scrap.

Our team will leverage new electrochemical separations for the energy-efficient, low-waste recovery of platinum group metals from e-waste.
