Tuurny Launches Robotic System to Mitigate U.S. RAM Shortage and Enhance E-Waste Processing
Tuurny has deployed a robotic system to recover RAM ICs from domestic e-waste, addressing a significant RAM shortage. The startup aims to create an onshore supply chain for critical materials, reducing reliance on overseas processing and supporting sustainability efforts.

Tuurny has successfully deployed a robotic system capable of extracting up to 300 RAM integrated circuits per hour from electronic waste. This initiative addresses a semiconductor supply chain gap exacerbated by major manufacturers reallocating resources toward AI data centers, leading to a RAM component shortage for downstream producers.
The Nantul robotic cell utilizes advanced computer vision and precision robotics, enabling real-time adaptability for extracting various high-value components. Tuurny's technology is designed to reduce extraction costs while enhancing throughput and precision, which transforms e-waste processing into a viable domestic operation.
The company has secured a six-figure contract with Areera for recycling TVs, which further validates its business model. Tuurny's efforts could significantly reduce the environmental impact associated with traditional mining and processing methods.
