ESGL--
The patent filing follows more than two years of dedicated research and development (R&D), during which the technology was successfully commercialized. ESGL's proprietary process combines high-temperature treatment with advanced resin systems to efficiently recover precious metal concentrates from acidic waste streams, significantly reducing environmental impact [1].
Lawrence Law, Executive Director of ESGL, commented on the significance of the patent filing: "This milestone strengthens the protection of our technology and demonstrates that innovation can align with sustainability and economic value creation." The company has successfully turned semiconductor waste into valuable precious metal concentrates, which are later refined into pure precious metals by partner refineries [1].
The global precious metals e-waste recovery market, valued at US$20.76 billion in 2024, is projected to grow steadily through 2032, driven by demand from the electronics and semiconductor sectors [1]. Asia Pacific is expected to lead this growth, presenting a substantial market opportunity for ESGL to participate in and integrate into the value chain of precious-metal recovery, especially in high-value acid-based waste streams [1].
ESGL’s commitment to innovation, sustainability, and shareholder value creation is underscored by this development. The company intends to explore further applications of its recovery technology across various industrial sectors [1].
