Mint Innovation, a New Zealand cleantech company,has scaled biological process that recovers valuable metals from waste streams. Our first process is a unique biometallurgical approach to recover metals from electronic waste. A key aspect of the Mint process is the use of proprietary microbes that are selective for specific metals. Combined with the advantages of low-cost chemistry, we aim to make it viable, both economically and environmentally, to capture value from e-waste near its point of collection.
