From waste to strategic resources

Recovering resources

Elemental Group brings valuable materials back to businesses and communities, focusing on the recovery of critical metals that have limited natural resources worldwide.

Operating globally

We operate our business on 4 continents – Europe, North America, Asia and Africa. We constantly develop partnerships with local and global businesses, which provides a strong platform for further growth.

Introducing innovations

We develop and implement modern and innovative technologies in our plants. We are a key element of the circular economy, providing sustainable solutions for the development and growth of low-emission industries, including e-mobility.

Future thinking

We believe that, in the face of climate challenges and global supply chain issues, responsible resource management is a necessity and an opportunity to create a more sustainable future. Urban mining allows strategic metals to be returned to the economy, without the exploitation of natural resources.

The role of recycling in sustainable development

At Elemental Group we believe that urban mining can significantly contribute to sustainable development. The waste we process contains much higher concentrations of valuable metals than ores extracted from mines and additionally recycling is low-emission and economically efficient.
