American Circular recovers precious metals and critical materials from end-of-life electronics through AI-optimized processing in Tampa Bay: copper, gold, palladium, rare earth elements, and more, responsibly extracted and returned to the domestic supply chain.
Domestic recovery is now a national priority
For decades the easy answer was to ship America's e-waste overseas, and all the value went with it. With critical mineral supply chains under strain and domestic processing treated as a national security priority, recovering these materials at home is no longer just good environmental practice. It is strategic infrastructure, and it is why we built the facility here.
How we recover more
- Intelligent disassembly first: working components are worth far more whole than shredded
- AI-optimized routing so each material stream reaches its highest-value process
- Recovery of copper, gold, palladium, and rare earth elements from boards and components
- 98%+ material recovery is what the platform is designed to deliver
- No-landfill policy on processed equipment
Frequently asked questions
What materials do you recover?
Precious metals (gold, palladium, silver), base metals (copper, aluminum, steel), and rare earth elements, along with reusable components recovered intact through intelligent disassembly.
Where do recovered materials go?
Into the domestic supply chain. Materials are processed locally in Tampa Bay and sold to downstream refiners and manufacturers in the United States, not shipped overseas.
