19-12-2023 15:00

The world is transitioning to cleaner energy sources, creating a demand for critical metals used in everyday items like smartphones and electric vehicles.

Recycling startup Nth Cycle is innovating metal refining technology to extract these metals efficiently and sustainably. They address the growing electronic waste issue, emphasizing the importance of clean energy technology starting with critical minerals such as cobalt, nickel, and manganese. Nth Cycle’s electro-extraction process reduces carbon emissions significantly compared to traditional methods. The startup aims to revolutionize metal refining with a modular and distributed approach that minimizes transportation costs and emissions.

While facing challenges in an industry accustomed to traditional methods, Nth Cycle seeks to contribute to a sustainable world by refining critical minerals, the new essential resources for the clean energy economy.

Difficult words: revolutionize (to change something radically), modular (consisting of independent units), refine (to make fine or pure).
