Supra Elemental Recovery Inc. Launches to Recover Critical Minerals in U.S. Supply Chain
Supra Elemental Recovery Inc., a startup from The University of Texas at Austin, has launched with a $250,000 investment from the UT Seed Fund. The company aims to commercialize technology to recover critical minerals like cobalt and lithium from U.S. waste sources, including mine tailings and electronic waste. This initiative could enhance U.S. supply chains for high-tech industries and reduce reliance on foreign sources. Key inventors include chemists and experts in nanomanufacturing, who developed a novel 3D-printed cartridge for effective mineral recovery.

Supra Elemental Recovery Inc. has launched with a $250,000 investment from the UT Seed Fund to recover critical minerals from U.S. waste sources. The startup's technology targets minerals such as cobalt and lithium, essential for semiconductors and batteries, and aims to improve domestic supply chains while reducing foreign reliance.
Founders include notable UT inventors who developed a 3D-printed cartridge to filter materials at the molecular level using simple solvents. This innovation provides a scalable solution to retrieve valuable elements from millions of tons of waste produced annually in the U.S.
