The Next Generation of Critical Mineral Retention
Energy infrastructure transition isn’t a 10-or 20-year cycle, it’s a
fundamental economic realignment that will persist for centuries.
Clean Tech recycling sits at the intersection of Sustainability, Energy Security, and
Industrial Resilience, making it a permanent pillar of the economy.
The case for large-scale recycling has never been stronger, or more urgent.
As Solar, Wind and Battery Energy Storage Systems scale, recovering and repurposing their critical materials has become both an environmental imperative and an economic necessity.
At GB Clean Tech we are committed to strengthening our energy independence by building resilient circular practices, capturing materials already in circulation and returning them to life infinitely, powering future products, infrastructure and clean-energy growth.
Our process enables owners and operators to safely and sustainably dispose of their used clean tech assets, at the end of their meaningful life, while fully meeting their WEEE Directive obligations.
Our solution
At GB Clean Tech we operate an integrated, end-to-end recycling system built around proven recovery technologies at scale.
Our UK-wide network is engineered to handle and consolidate used clean tech assets safely and efficiently. Materials will be logged, stored and importantly processed in accordance with Environment Agency requirements and WEEE Directive compliance obligations, ensuring a full auditable chain of custody and traceability prior to treatment.
All end-of-life materials are transported to our state-of-the-art East Midlands processing facility. Here, we deploy a combination of controlled targeted recovery stages, depending on product type, our processes can recover up to 97% of critical and growth materials for reuse in UK supply chains.
Critical mineral retention
GB Clean Tech’s vision is a circular, clean energy economy where nothing goes to waste.
We have developed an integrated recycling solution for Solar and Battery (BESS) technologies, with Wind Blade recycling coming soon. Our services give owners and operators the confidence to upgrade or decommission their sites, knowing their ESG and WEEE Directive obligations are fulfilled.
We are creating a UK flagship circular economy facility to act as a national and international centre of excellence, driving economic growth, creating high value jobs, whilst further advancing environmental sustainability.
GB Clean Tech is helping strengthen the UK’s mineral retention infrastructure, building resilient supply chains and securing reliable, consistent flows of critical and growth materials.
