Closure and Remediation:
Reclaiming areas of physical disturbance to prevent erosion, stabilizing soils containing metals or chemicals to prevent unwanted metal releases into the environment.
Timna Elements is developing a sustainable hydrometallurgical platform for recovering critical metals from mining and urban waste. Our technology transforms low-value waste streams—including mine tailings, industrial residues, and electronic waste—into valuable sources of critical raw materials essential for clean energy, electrification, and advanced manufacturing.
Our proprietary process combines selective leaching, advanced separation, and metal recovery to efficiently extract target metals while minimizing chemical consumption, energy use, and secondary waste generation. Unlike conventional mining, which relies on energy-intensive extraction of virgin ores, our approach recovers existing resources already present in waste, reducing environmental impact and supporting a circular economy.
The platform is designed to be flexible and scalable, enabling recovery of multiple critical metals from diverse feedstocks. By converting waste liabilities into valuable resources, Timna Elements helps reduce dependence on primary mining, improves resource security, and lowers the carbon footprint of critical metal production.
Our mission is to make critical metals more sustainable, accessible, and resilient, accelerating the transition to a low-carbon economy while creating economic value from materials that would otherwise remain unused
