Having its’ roots in the processing of cobalt containing ores generated as a byproduct / waste from local silver mines more than 380 years ago, Nickelhuette Aue GmbH has a special commitment for recycling of base metals. The main raw materials are not sourced from local mines anymore, but are generated from oil and gas, battery, electroplating, fertilizer, electronics, oleochemical and petrochemical industries worldwide. Today, sophisticated pyro- and hydrometallurgical production processes ensure a sustainable and environmentally friendly recycling of industrial waste materials. These waste materials are converted into chemicals, non-ferrous metal concentrates and matte. All in all, Nickelhuette Aue GmbH offers a closed recycling loop service capable to save valuable resources for future generations, reduce CO2 emissions, save energy, reduce landfilling, improve utilization of waste materials and reward waste generators.
