Urban PGM is a DPIT recognised startup company focused on the recycling and recovery of precious and critical metals such as platinum group metals (PGMs), from urban sources like automotive catalysts, electronic waste (e-waste), battery scrap, and other industrial byproduct. The company operates in the growing field of urban mining, which is sustainable mining, where precious metals like platinum, palladium, and rhodium are recovered from end-of-life products rather than mined from the earth, hence minimizing the environmental impact of traditional mining.
The company plays a crucial role in promoting sustainability and circular economy by reducing the environmental impact of traditional mining, which is energy-intensive and harmful to ecosystems. Urban PGM is building a full-service AI-enabled recycling platform to bring circularity to critical metals.
