About the research…
Project REMRETEch deals with recycling technology for strategically and technologically important rare earth elements from magnet e-wastes. REMRETEch’s patentable process developed at Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI), Switzerland ensures business opportunities with eco-friendly methods in relevant waste management, hydrometallurgical field and supports urban mining.
“Ajay’s startup idea on recycling of rare earth metals from urban e-waste achieved further maturity to be a venture soon; he has filed a European patent and was the winner of AIT 2018 Swiss camp and Climate-Kick grant. AIT helped him to build a foundation to grow from a scientific idea to a successful entrepreneur. He is confident to use AIT credentials to compete for even larger grants and funds to make his idea reality for socioeconomic impact and sustainability.”
