How we’re contributing to the circular economy
technology
Real impact, real numbers
emew’s innovative suite of clean technologies regenerates reagents to recover ultra-high purity metals, directly on site. As well as making a significant contribution to a circular economy as a whole, this simplified process usually reduces our customers’ environmental impacts immediately, with significant reductions to CO2 emissions and reagent consumption.
For example, one emew customer achieved a 100% recycled and reusable product by converting a costly copper sulfate byproduct to high quality copper for direct use on their site. This allowed the customer to avoid the financial and environmental costs of transporting byproducts to market, while reporting other significant metrics.

The future is circular
The uptake of renewables, electric vehicles and other low-carbon technologies is soaring; but so is demand for the valuable metals that enable their production. This creates resource scarcity, which threatens to cancel out the benefits of these clean energy technologies.
That’s why our suite of emew technologies has been developed to recover those necessary valuable metals that would otherwise go to waste, enabling a continuous loop of reuse and recycling.
Sustainable practices make sustainable businesses
Sustainable waste management doesn’t only benefit the environment – it also benefits the bottom lines and ESG targets of businesses of all sizes. Our emew clean technologies convert waste streams into revenue streams, at the same time as supporting your business ESG commitments through reduced carbon emissions.
Accelerating the sustainability revolution
While we’re already proud of our contributions towards the circular economy, we’re constantly striving towards a more sustainable future, for our own business, our customers’ businesses, and the world around us. We regularly review and optimize our internal processes and technologies, and develop long-term partnerships with customers to support their sustainability goals.
