The Volume equivalent to a 50 m3 Pool is required when extracting one tonne of tin

The equivalent of two pools of rock dust is created when extracting one tonne of tin, in addition to using lots of water and chemicals.

Entrusting us with your tin waste, tin alloys and tin aggregated with other materials can help us avoid:

  • Digging 1000 pools
  • Creating 2,000 waste pools
  • While simultaneously reducing energy consumption by a factor of 50

Our Objective: Collecting 1,000 tonnes of tin waste

No devastated landscape, no mountains of waste, just 50 times less energy consumed to get the same amount of tin. This is also true for many other metals. Food for thought?
