Circuit board processor EnviroLeach is gearing up to bring its Canadian facility to commercial-scale capacity in the next two months. The company recently raised significant capital to help in that effort.
The Vancouver, British Columbia-based company, which has been developing a non-toxic hydrometallurgical metals leaching method for several years, is currently focusing its efforts on a processing site in Vancouver.
EnviroLeach is conducting production testing on material supplied by worldwide manufacturing company Jabil and received 6 tons of e-scrap materials from the company last week. That includes low- and high-grade circuit boards, modems, computer power supplies and other devices.
Duane Nelson, CEO of EnviroLeach, said the company plans to scale up to processing 10 tons per day within the next 60 days.
The company recently raised 2.5 million Canadian dollars ($1.77 million) through the sale of shares to private buyers. That sale closed in March through multiple rounds of funding.
"That money helps us with continued research and development," Nelson said. It is also key to the company getting its plant capacity up to 300 tons per month.
The company recently installed additional milling equipment, eddy current separators and more at the Vancouver facility.
After hitting 10 tons per day, EnviroLeach will focus on expanding the capacity at its Vancouver plant to 20 tons per day. The company also has a five-year plan in place to develop similar processing facilities around the U.S., Nelson said.
In its test phase, EnviroLeach has sourced feedstock from all over the world, including from throughout North America and as far as Malaysia and the Philippines.
