| Abstract Scope |
The accelerating global demand for critical minerals—driven by electrification, clean energy, and defense needs—has exposed vulnerabilities in traditional mining-based supply chains. At the same time, vast quantities of industrial waste containing untapped mineral value remain overlooked, underutilized, and environmentally burdensome. ElementUSA is on a mission to change that. Our company is pioneering the extraction of critical minerals from recycled industrial waste streams such as bauxite residue (red mud), fly ash, coal tailings, mill scale, and aluminum dross. This presentation will highlight how ElementUSA is redefining mineral sourcing through sustainable waste valorization, showcasing practical approaches, process innovations, and the economic and strategic advantages of this alternative pathway to securing critical mineral supply. |
