Critical Metals Recovery

Powering India's critical minerals ecosystem through smarter recovery and Runaya is making that happen

Smarter Recovery, Better Tomorrow

Through the National Critical Mineral Mission, domestic capabilities are taking centre stage and Runaya is at the forefront, deploying metal recovery technologies that extract critical metals from smelting residues and industrial by-products.

Why extract more when we can recover more?

By unlocking critical metals from industrial waste, we're strengthening India's resource security, expanding domestic capabilities, and enabling a more circular, resilient value chain.

Our Technology

Runaya combines licensed technologies from Powben, integrating two complementary recovery processes. Together, they enable multi-metal extraction from single streams — efficiently, consistently, and at scale.

Pyro metallurgy

High-temperature treatment that separates and recovers metals from industrial residues, deriving value from materials that would otherwise be permanently lost.

Hydro metallurgy

Aqueous solutions that selectively recover metals with high purity, enabling greater resource recovery and supporting domestic supply of critical materials.

Our Impact

Efficient recovery from smelting residues

Supports circular industrial ecosystems

Multi-metal extraction from single streams

Lower footprint, reduced landfill waste
