What we believe

TO REWRITE THE FUTURE IT IS NECESSARY TO RECREATE WAYS OF CARRYING OUT ESSENTIAL ACTIVITIES FOR SOCIETY, AS WELL AS THOSE OF THE MINING-METALLURGICAL INDUSTRY.

Sustainability

Keeping an eye on the energy transition

Today, the growing search for strategic metals for the energy transition increases the opportunities and challenges for this industry.

By developing technologies to make mineral processing more sustainable, and convert waste into positive resources for humanity, we position ourselves as a game-changer in the transformation of the mining and steel sector.

The method used by the company allows for the exploitation of a wider range of different nickel concentrations, including the extraction of existing low-grade stockpiles, which increases the life of the mine while reducing the removal rate.

By reducing impacts on the soil and waste generation, we increase inputs for a clean energy transition and enhance shared value with stakeholders.

We recover more than 80% of alumina refining waste, while significantly reducing water and energy use. Another difference capable of revolutionizing the industry is eliminating the need for tailings dams.

Wave Aluminum not only solves one of the biggest environmental liabilities of our time, but also transforms what was previously discarded into a valuable source of benefits for society and the planet.

Circular economy

Imagine a future in which waste ceased to be environmental liabilities and became valuable products for society. This is the future we want to write.

The method developed at New Wave promotes the Circular Economy, where waste becomes inputs for producing new items through the transformation of production cycles.

With this, we have developed a process that combines economic development with the well-being of society, strengthening our focus on sustainability.
