Description:
Destiny Copper is revolutionizing copper production by recovering copper powder from industrial waste with a Canadian patented process. Industry currently relies on disposal companies to incinerate or deep-well inject copper waste, practices that increase emissions and waste valuable resources. This IRAP project will develop a scalable, sustainable method that will convert industrial copper waste into high-quality, commercial-grade copper powder, reducing greenhouse gas emissions by over 99% while securing a domestic supply of this critical material.
