Story
We are a team of enthusiastic undergraduates who found a way to solve the growing e-waste problem by turning old metal parts into high-quality metal lubricants. These new lubricants work better than contemporary ones in the market. What began as an undergraduate project has evolved into a working prototype that holds the potential to revolutionize waste management and the lubricant industry.

Problem
Problem - 50M tons of e-waste annually, 60% contains valuable metals.
- 20% of metal in e-waste is Copper, and 6M tons of copper waste gets generated from e-waste.
- There is little to no adoption of metal nanoparticles in the market.
Solution
Solution
A patented, green synthesis method to recover copper from e waste.
Market & Growth
Market & Growth - The global nanoparticles market size is valued at $ 8 billion in 2025 and registered a CAGR of 10.2 % during the forecast period.
- APAC is the fastest-growing market for e-waste & metal nanoparticles.
- The market value of nanoparticles by value is platinum, gold, and silver, followed by copper.
