Nextgenerationmetalsprocessinginfrastructure

Overview

We build distributed metals processing infrastructure for critical metals recovery.

Electrification, artificial intelligence and the energy transition are driving unprecedented demand for critical metals. Yet the infrastructure designed to recover and supply those metals remains centralised, capital-intensive and slow to scale. DEScycle introduces a new model for metals processing infrastructure, deploying distributed metals recovery technology faster and cheaper than legacy approaches.
The Problem

Metal demand is outpacing supply infrastructure

Global metals demand is accelerating faster than the infrastructure designed to supply it. The existing infrastructure is large centralised smelters that are capital-intensive, slow to scale and reliant on complex global logistics. At the same time, valuable metal-bearing materials are generated across distributed industrial systems, from electronics manufacturing and data centres to renewable energy infrastructure. Recovering metals efficiently requires a fundamentally different approach.

Global e-waste generation will exceed $130bn p.a.by 2030

$130bn

78% of e-waste is not recycled; due to lack of economic incentivization at local scale

The Platform

A distributed metals processing platform

DEScycle replaces centralised smelting infrastructure with a network of modular processing units powered by ionometallurgy.
Discover what we do

Faster & cheaper

Accelerate the deployment of metals processing infrastructure.

Repeatable scaling

Achieve growth through modular metal processing technology

What We Do

Decentralising metals recovery

Powered by proprietary ionometallurgy, our platform uses deep eutectic solvents to recover metals. DEScycle deploys distributed, modular metals processing systems directly where materials are generated. By moving processing closer to feedstock sources, DEScycle shortens value chains, lowers capital intensity and enables faster, repeatable deployment.
