Closed-Loop Business Model
5N Plus takes an integrated, lifecycle approach to materials management and recycling. We have deep expertise and unique technologies for the recovery, treatment and valuation of degraded resources.
We procure degraded resources containing low grades of critical metals from upstream suppliers. We then extract the critical metals to develop and manufacture enabling materials for our customers. We also use our downstream refined products or commercial grade metals to develop and manufacture advanced materials utilizing our unique and proprietary process technologies.
As an upcycler of by-products from other industries, we help reduce waste by promoting reuse, while broadening our source market, thereby strengthening our diversified supply chain and reducing costs.
