iUMiX Approach

We bring the plant to the waste -not the other way around
iUMiX operates as a metal streaming and technology company. Rather than shipping waste to distant refineries, we deploy proximity processing - bringing our technology directly to where deposits exist. Lower transport, lower emissions, higher traceability from the very first step.

The upstream today

Proximity Approach

We deploy where the waste is. No long-haul transport of hazardous material. Processing close to the source reduces cost, carbon footprint, and complexity - and locks in traceability from day one. Millions of people already recover metals from urban waste - often informally, often without protection, and almost always without recognition of the value they create. iUMiX is built to change that.

Our technology direction

Bioleaching Technology

Bioleaching is an approach in which microorganisms progressively replace harsher chemical processes, with the potential for lower energy consumption, fewer reagents, and higher selectivity on complex waste streams. We combine bioleaching with proven chemical processes where industrial maturity requires - with each process choice made deliberately toward a lower-impact target.
