Excir

Excir has developed a patented, proprietary technology that enables the ethical and sustainable extraction of precious metals — specifically gold, palladium, and platinum — from electronic waste (e-waste) and spent catalysts. The company's lixiviant-based process recovers 99%+ of gold from e-waste circuit boards in seconds, with negligible environmental impact. Excir's technology enables a circular economy approach, transforming e-waste into three streams: precious metals, base metals, and plastics with a goal of zero landfill impact. Since 2022, The Royal Mint has partnered with Excir to scale the technology at its Reformation Metals facility in Wales, with capacity to process up to 4,000 tonnes of PCBs annually. The Canadian government recognized Excir's cross-country collaboration at the G7 Summit. The company is based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
