CRUSADE

CRUSADE pioneers innovative technologies to revolutionize recycling, extracting critical raw materials from automotive components with unrivaled efficiency. Through a universal hydrometallurgical method, we recycle up to 500 tons/year of spent components, while recovering 40 tons/year of critical metals. Leveraging blockchain for material tracing and a pan-European collection network ensures sustainability. Our process reduces CO₂ emissions by 15-80%, outperforming commercial methods. With automated processing, we achieve a 15% time reduction and offer materials at 15% lower prices, promoting cost efficiency.
