What We Do

Turning E-Scrap
into Strategic Value

American Strategic Metals has developed a first-principles process for e-scrap recovery, drawing on world-class engineering expertise shaped by decades of European industrial experience.

Extracting Value from Waste

We Recover Strategic
Metals From E-Scrap

Every year, millions of tons of e-scrap containing billions of dollars of valuable metals are discarded - most of it is buried in landfill. We are helping to change that.

Instead of burying this value or sending it overseas, we recover strategic metals from e-scrap for use in the industries of the future.

Building a Circular Economy

Reducing America’s Dependence
On Global Metal Supply Chains

E-scrap is more than a waste challenge, it’s a supply chain challenge. By recovering critical materials at home, ASM helps reduce import dependence and build a more resilient domestic metals economy.

E-scrap is 
a strategic resource

E-scrap contains critical and precious metals, making it one of America’s most overlooked sources of strategic material.

Content Timeline Image

Too much value is lost

Too often that value is discarded or sent overseas instead of being recovered and returned to the U.S. economy.

Content Timeline Image

Dependence on imports

When those materials are lost, the U.S. is forced to rely on linear global supply chains to replace them.

Content Timeline Image

Recovery changes that

We recover strategic metals from e-scrap in the U.S. and return them to domestic industries.

Circularity builds resilience

Keeping materials in circulation at home reduces import dependence, lessens the need to mine for new metals and supports a stronger, more resilient industrial base.

A Sustainable Approach

Recovering Strategic Metals - Without Mining

At our plant we recycle e-scrap with a zero-waste approach: 
every material stream is captured and redirected for reuse so nothing goes to waste.

Collection:

We partner with certified suppliers 
across North America to source e-scrap responsibly.

Processing:

We use pyro-metallurgical and electro-chemical processes
to separate e-scrap into its constituent parts.

Recycling:

The metals and materials we produce 
will feed back into America’s supply chain.

Strategic Metals

What We Recover

E-scrap contains valuable metals that can be recovered and reused. To reduce waste and keep essential materials in circulation, our proprietary process is designed to eliminate waste and recover a wide range of metals, including:

Silver

Recovered Metal
Essential for high-efficiency conductors in renewable energy systems

Palladium

Recovered Metal
Vital for the advanced catalytic systems that drive sustainable mobility

Tin

Recovered Metal
Critical for the precision soldering that connects modern consumer electronics

Lead

Recovered Metal
Critical to emergency backup systems that protect global data infrastructure

Zinc

Recovered Metal
Protects critical infrastructure through advanced coatings and alloys

Gold

Recovered Metal
Critical for high-reliability electronics that power global connectivity

Copper

Recovered Metal
Essential for electrification and power systems.

Nickel

Recovered Metal
Enables high-performance superalloys necessary for aerospace
On-Shore Recovery

Keeping Critical Materials In The U.S.

America produces a significant share of the world’s e-scrap, and U.S. industries increasingly depend on the metals we routinely discard or send overseas. Recovering these materials domestically strengthens American industry and reduces reliance on imported supply.

Flagship Facility

A Compelling Opportunity
Starting in Indiana

American Strategic Metals is building a new model for recovering strategic metals from e-scrap at scale, starting with our first zero-waste facility in Wabash, Indiana. It’s built to run responsibly, create long-term jobs, and optimize technology that we can bring to other regions over time.

With millions already invested in engineering and design, ASM is ready to advance construction on the flagship facility.

Creating Onshore Value

Recovering strategic metals here at home supports the industries that rely on them - 
and keeps more of that value in the U.S.

Producing Zero-Waste

Our approach is built around a simple idea: maximize recovery and eliminate waste entirely by designing outputs for reuse.

Designing a Scalable Model

Wabash is the first facility in a scalable network, setting the template for replicating our model across the U.S. and abroad.

An Exurban Company,
Backed By World-Class
Strategic Investors

American Strategic Metals is an Exurban subsidiary, supported by leading industrial partners and investors who bring operational expertise, supply chain strength, and long-term commitment.
