By applying our proprietary sequential processing technology, we first extract valuable rare earth elements from the collected waste streams, tapping into a $15.5 billion market for these critical materials. We then convert the remaining waste into high-performance geopolymer construction materials, which serve as a sustainable and cost-effective alternative to traditional cement, addressing an $800 billion market opportunity in sustainable construction. This dual-product model allows us to generate revenue from both the extracted rare earth elements and the geopolymer products, while simultaneously solving environmental challenges and reducing disposal costs for our partners.
