redesigning resource recovery
Embedded Files
Cobalt is crucial for the future of mobility, as it is a key component in electric vehicle (EV) batteries and energy storage systems. Supply is expected to fall short of demand, leading to a market deficit by the mid to late 2020s.

sustainability under scrutiny
Traditional mining is highly unsustainable, contributing to habitat destruction, water contamination, and high carbon emissions. Similarly, battery recycling processes pose environmental risks: hydrometallurgy relies on harsh chemicals that generate hazardous waste, while pyrometallurgy is energy-intensive and has a large carbon footprint.
We redesign resource recovery by integrating advanced biotechnology into our supply chains.
our solution: biologically-sourced cobalt.
We employ advanced bioleaching and bioprocessing techniques, utilizing genetically-engineered microorganisms and custom-designed peptides to extract cobalt from recycled materials, further enhancing selectivity and reducing environmental impact.
