Sustainability and Circular Economy
Sustainable Processes
Hydrolyz specializes in developing advanced electrochemical and hydrometallurgical technologies that enable sustainable solutions for three interconnected domains: green hydrogen production, urban mining, and the circular economy.
Green Hydrogen Production
Hydrolyz focuses on designing efficient and durable alkaline electrolyzers and electrocatalytic systems that minimize energy demand while maximizing hydrogen yield, advancing scalable pathways for carbon-free energy.
Urban Mining
By applying innovative leaching, solvent-free recovery, and selective electrochemical separation methods, Hydrolyz transforms electronic waste and secondary resources into high-value metals such as copper, cobalt, nickel, and rare earths.

"I was impressed with how knowledgeable and professional the team was. They took the time to understand my energy needs and delivered a solution that fit perfectly. Now, my business runs more efficiently and sustainably."
Circular Economy
Through process intensification, solution chemistry optimization, and system integration, Hydrolyz develops sustainable process flowsheets that close material loops, reduce waste, and ensure long-term access to critical resources.
Rare Earth Metals
At Hydrolyz, we are pioneering sustainable solutions for the recycling and recovery of rare earth metals (REMs), which are critical for clean energy technologies, electronics, and advanced manufacturing. Our specialization lies in:
Innovative Hydrometallurgical Routes – Developing eco-friendly leaching and separation techniques tailored to complex end-of-life products such as magnets, batteries, and electronic waste.
Selective Separation & Purification – Utilizing advanced solvent extraction, ion exchange, and membrane technologies to achieve high-purity recovery of rare earth elements.
Process Integration for Circular Economy – Designing flowsheets that minimize chemical usage, reduce energy input, and close material loops, enabling maximum metal recovery with minimum environmental footprint.
Urban Mining Applications – Unlocking critical resources from discarded electronics, renewable energy components, and industrial residues to reduce reliance on primary mining.
Industrial Partnership Potential – Offering scalable recycling solutions that support supply security and create business opportunities in the growing REM market, from magnet production to clean energy infrastructure.
Heavy Metal Recovery: Industrial Waste Steams
Industrial activities such as mining, metallurgy, electroplating, battery production, and chemical manufacturing generate waste streams enriched with toxic heavy metals (e.g., Cu, Ni, Zn, Pb, Cr, Cd, Co).
At Hydrolyz, we provide a range of services in
Selective Leaching: Controlled dissolution of metals using tailored lixiviants.
Solvent Extraction & Ion Exchange: Separation of specific metals at high purity.
Electrowinning & Electrorefining: Direct recovery of metals as pure deposits.
Recycling of Electronic Waste
At Hydrolyz, we specialize in the sustainable recovery of copper in addition to precious metals such as Gold (Au), and Silver (Ag) from electronic waste.
Our goal is to enable industries to recover value from waste, reduce reliance on primary mining, and contribute to a sustainable supply chain for precious metals.
Our Strategy
Hydrolyz pursues a strategy of delivering rigorous, research-driven solutions to the most challenging industrial and environmental issues, integrating advanced hydrometallurgical and electrochemical technologies to enhance resource recovery, reduce pollution, and promote sustainable industrial practices.
