Marco Bersani

CEO at Circular Materials - Everything can be recovered

Italy

About

At Circular Materials we have developed and patented a technology to recover heavy metals from complex industrial wastewaters. Quantitatively, with no production of sludge. And we recover 98% of the dissolved metals. To be fully circular. The solution is perfectly aligned with the Circular Economy logic: it allows a full recovery of contaminating metals and convert them to secondary raw materials. It is characterized by remarkable levels of Environmental Sustainability as: - it requires only water and electrical energy as inputs - it doesn’t produce sludges - the treated waters contain very low concentrations of heavy metals
