Recovery, recycling and re-use
Transforming waste into valuable resources for a sustainable future.
Sustainable resource recovery and innovation
Effective recovery, recycling, and re-use of materials can significantly reduce environmental impact, lower carbon emissions, and unlock economic value from waste and side-streams. CPI helps you develop and implement innovative processes to extract, recover, and repurpose a wide range of materials — including metals, plastics, and ceramics.
We support you from concept to commercialisation, offering pilot-scale demonstration and detailed life cycle and techno-economic assessments. By combining expertise in chemistry, engineering, and sustainability, we deliver scalable, efficient, and commercially viable recovery and recycling solutions.
