About Us – Circular Materials
Circular Materials

is an innovative

clean-tech

company focused on the recovery and valorization of

strategic metals and critical raw materials

from industrial effluents.

The company has developed and patented a proprietary technological platform for

Supercritical Water Precipitation (SWaP™) , capable of achieving

recovery rates exceeding 99% , reducing toxic waste production, and minimizing

environmental impact

compared to traditional mining processes.

In

March 2025 , Circular Materials was selected by the

European Commission as a Strategic Project under the Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA) —one of only a few projects chosen in Italy and across Europe. This recognition highlights our key role in strengthening the resilience of supply chains and developing a sustainable alternative to primary extraction.

Circular Materials is currently executing an

ambitious expansion plan

at both the national and European levels, aimed at establishing a

network of industrial hubs

designed to treat large volumes of waste and transform them into secondary raw materials.

We partner with industrial companies to:

Treat metal-bearing effluents.

Reduce disposal costs and environmental impact.

Recover critical raw materials and reintegrate them into the production supply chain.

Our goal is to build a new European industrial infrastructure for metal recovery, unlocking the value of existing industrial flows.
