SUSTAINABILITY
With responsible technology, we give our Earth another chance
We respect our planet's valuable raw materials, and that's why we clean and return them for reuse. This is made possible through our unique RETRACER recycling technology.
Our groundbreaking technology provides tangible solutions for recycling depleting raw materials, reducing corporate emissions, and achieving sustainability goals.
Our aim is to secure the vitality of our planet with sustainable products.

Sustainability in agriculture
Sustainability in Agriculture
Our organically approved micronutrient fertilisers play a key role in reducing the carbon footprint of agriculture and minimising environmental impact. By enhancing soil health and nutrient availability, they boost crop yields, making farming not only more productive but also more economical and resource-efficient. With our fertilisers, farmers can achieve sustainable growth while contributing to a healthier planet.
Sustainability across different sectors
Through our technology, industrial companies can efficiently process their byproducts, thereby reducing their carbon footprint, while also gaining access to valuable recycled raw materials.
Our Technology
Our groundbreaking technology transforms spent alkaline batteries into circular economy products.
Our RETRACER technology and groundbreaking process facilitate the recovery of valuable trace elements, such as manganese and zinc, from recycled batteries and industrial side streams. From these reclaimed elements, we manufacture low-carbon footprint foliar fertilisers for agriculture and raw materials for industrial use. Our production has minimal biodiversity impact.
Our patented, eco-friendly technology boasts versatile applications and can be tailored to sectors such as agriculture and various industries, making it suitable for global scalability. Our technology has garnered numerous accolades, including the prestigious Circwaste Award from the Finnish Environment Institute.
Our production plant in Finland has the capacity to produce up to 10 million liters of liquid fertilizers for agriculture annually, with minimal emissions. Through our technology, we recover 90% of raw materials from alkaline batteries, compared to traditional battery recycling methods that only recover 50%.
At our production plant:
- No wastewater is generated.
- No smoke or emissions are produced, and there is no smokestack in our facility.
- Our energy consumption is minimal because our process operates at room temperature.
- We are certified according to the highest recycling material standards in the EU.
- Our product manufacturing meets ISO 9001 and 14001 standards."
Emission Reduction
A 70% reduction in CO2 emissions
Compared to traditional practices, our process achieves an impressive 70% reduction in overall emissions. These practices involve mining virgin raw materials from distant sources, transporting them over long distances, and recycling used alkaline batteries through conventional methods.
Lifecycle Analysis
Lifecycle analysis reveals our strengths
Lifecycle analysis reveals why our process generates significantly fewer emissions compared to traditional methods. In our value chain, we are not dependent on mining trace elements or transporting raw materials over long distances. One key advantage of our process is regional production, which substantially reduces emissions related to logistics. The majority of our emissions occur at our production plant during the processing of recycled raw materials using our RETRACE technology.
