Recycle, reclaim, re-use

The ores processed a century ago to provide metals for our society were not very efficient – and certainly not very environmentally friendly.  Today the metals left over from these operations are leaching into our environment or lying around as waste. 

Sunshine Reclamation is taking these wastes and extracting the metals in them including: copper, lead, zinc, gold and silver.  These metals today are used to support our societies material needs – but particularly our needs for electronics, batteries, solar, wind and other renewable energy products.

These metals are typically sourced from new mining projects that ultimately have an environmental penalty associated with them.  In contrast when they are reclaimed and reused from a contaminated site, there is no new mining and environmental penalty.  Instead the recovery of these metals from one of our projects is associated with an environmental benefit.
