"We clean up other people's messes"

We Help Communities Clean Up Abandoned Mining Waste 

Innovative Recycling makes a difference in communities contaminated by abandoned mining waste ...

  • Completely recycling abandoned mine waste
  • Enriching their lives through
  • cleaner water
  • cleaner air
  • restored plant and animal populations
  • Returning the land to its natural state

OR

  • Providing for new developable land
  • and New Jobs

Our program provides tangible returns to both the land owner and the communities where mining waste acts as a deterrent to environmental stability, economic growth, and a sense of pride for the place they live. We provide jobs during the time we are in a community recycling abandoned mining waste. Our goal is to provide successful models for the residents of the area, showing them how to use and respect the natural resource capital they have and how to use it responsibly. 

We provide a triple bottom line, environmental restoration, profit for the corporation and creating new economic and environmental opportunities in the communities we work in. In short, we devise the way to clean up other people's messes while restoring the environment, one pile at a time. 

IR's MTP

We believe Innovative Recycling has been based on what some call aMassively Transformative Purpose. The idea was coined by Peter Diamandis. A MTPis the problem-solving-mission that gives direction, focus, and weight to your actions.

Here are the attributes which help to define our MTP.

1. IT'S UNIQUELY OURS

Our ideas about taking mining waste into a full recovery cycle are unique in the remediation business. No one is thinking about how to rid the planet of waste by transforming it from liability to asset.

2. ASPIRATIONAL - WHAT WE ASPIRE TO ACCOMPLISH

Cleaning up abandoned waste in abandoned communities is an idea that the corporate natural resource extraction community has not been willing to address. It is too far afield from their normal business to think about coming back to address old problems cast aside by their forebears.

3. IT COMPLETELY INSPIRES US

Having an opportunity to accomplish several important social and economic goals while working with a single problem is exciting. Creating something of value for everyone involved from economic to ecological to social viewpoints is seldom possible. This is why we are so excited about the possibilities of this project. It has positive outcomes for everyone who participates in it.

 4. NEITHER NARROW NOR EVEN TECHNOLOGY SPECIFIC

While we use technology in our systems, those technologies are sometimes very simple and other times very complex. While technology is an enabling tool, the real benefits come from bringing together the right suite of tools for each solution as a system, not as a singular, universal solution.

5. AIMED AT THE HEART AND MIND

All of this effort began as a response to a cry for help in a community that has been influenced by mining waste for over 50 years. They want to have it gone from sight and reclaim a part of their village and landscape which has been a blight from every conceivable viewpoint. Having the ability to deal with this problem and not doing something about it would be irresponsible.

6. DECLARED WITH SINCERITY AND CONFIDENCE with a POWER OF PULL SO ASPIRATIONAL THAT A COMMUNITY FORMS AROUND IT. BY BUILDING THE COMMUNITY, YOU ATTRACT AND RETAIN TALENT. 

We are looking forward to expanding our community beyond the local support networks of community leaders and involved individuals in the Southwest. Join us as we tackle this sensitive issue.

Company Operations Summary

Innovative Recycling, Inc. (“IR” or the “Company”) owns and develops proprietary technology which provides the means to extract precious metals and common minerals from discarded mine waste while providing a way to create marketable products which consume the entire waste stream. These materials are complex and difficult to manipulate which is why the Company has developed its proprietary technology to be able to recover precious metals and other derived materials that have demand in the current market.

IR uses both industry standard processes along with proprietary processes to extract marketable products. The Company’s lab tests have shown there are significant payloads of metals and other benign byproducts which are sufficient to return adequate profits for sustained operations. Innovative Recycling’s efforts create several benefits to both the future company and the environment. Where others simply encapsulate or seek to neutralize waste piles in place, IR can take those materials now categorized as waste and turn them into marketable products and return a profit and at the same time provide relief to the land by restoring it so it can be productive again.

Management believes the Company success will continue due to of the following reasons:

 > Credibility: IR’s parent company has an extensive background in site materials management including environmental remediation and closure plans as well as ownership in the world recognized natural resource management industry publication “Land and Water.” 

 > Socially Relevant: Recycling has become one of the most recognized and positive “green” terms in our modern world. Recycling commands support from groups that advocate for environmental initiatives.

 > Ultimate Products: Few businesses can claim to have products that are nearly immune to the forces of market fluctuations, relevance, and internationally negotiable as are IR products that include precious metals, industrial minerals, agriculture fertilizer, construction materials, and reclaimed land.

 > IP: Well engineered and managed IP is the centerpiece of any business advantage and strategic market position which produces sustained business growth and value.

 > Vast Input: Every business wants to plan around a nearly endless supply of input resource for their long term forecast and mine wastes present that potential with worldwide supplies presenting IR with great potential well beyond the enormous regional inventory.

Our business model creates pilot projects and prescriptive knowledge that will lead to a decision on which processing methods will be used in licensing agreements with various Operational Production Companies.
