The solution
The management of obsolete electronic waste is a crucial environmental issue for the planet, as none of the options on the market allow for the responsible recycling or recovery of components. enim's hydrometallurgical process harvests up to 99% of the strategic minerals contained in obsolete electronic equipment, effectively turning our societies into urban mines.
Unlike pyrometallurgy, which relies on the combustion of electronic waste, hydrometallurgy uses liquid solutions to separate the components, leaving a much smaller environmental footprint than burning the waste.
Step 0
Raw minerals
Step 1
Electronics are disposed of in bins at drugstores, electronics stores, and businesses through electronics recycling programs.
Step 2
Waste is sent to electronics recyclers.
Step 3
Circuit boards are sent to enim.
Step 4
enim targets and recovers various metals, such as palladium, gold, silver, copper, platinum, aluminum, zinc, tin or lead.
Step 5
enim sells or redistributes the metals to create a virtuous cycle.

Talking about sustainable development
Reducing our ecological footprint while optimizing the use of resources already extracted from our old electronic devices is possible. There are alternative solutions to the current pyrometallurgy methods that pollute and do not recover the precious metals to their full potential. Our electronic waste represents a real gold mine that enim will valorize again and again with its green and socially acceptable solution. Let's talk about it!
