Our Progress in
Wabash, Indiana
With more than $20 million already invested, American Strategic Metals is advancing construction on its first zero-waste facility in Wabash, Indiana.
Building America's First
Zero-Waste E-Scrap Facility
Our first facility is designed to responsibly process e-scrap and recover strategic metals that would otherwise be lost. We’re building in Wabash to create long-term jobs and set new standards in zero-waste e-scrap recycling.
Local jobs,
long-term

A model that
we can repeat
What we learn here informs future facilities and regional expansion.
A Proud
Industrial Heritage
Wabash has a long history of makers, manufacturers and skilled trades. In 1880, it became the first city in the world to be fully lit by electric light - a milestone that reflects the community’s spirit of innovation.


We’re honored to build our flagship facility here, investing in the community for the long term and supporting the region’s next chapter of growth.
State of the Art Design
A plant designed for minimum impact:
- Landscaping and large buffer zones to minimize visual impact
- Access to major highway, to minimize traffic disruption
- Recycling process entirely enclosed to reduce noise
