With decades of metallurgical experience, METTOP combines deep process know-how, practical operational expertise, and innovative engineering to support customers in transforming complex waste streams into valuable resources efficiently, sustainably, and economically. Rather than offering isolated equipment solutions, METTOP develops tailor-made recycling concepts tailored to:

• feed materials

• target products and product qualities

• production capacities

• investment strategies and future growth plans.

The company supports projects from the first idea through feasibility studies, pilot campaigns, engineering, and industrial implementation. To address different project phases and industrial requirements, METTOP has developed the scalable MetRec product portfolio: MetRec Study The pathway from anfor idea to investment-ready recycling concepts! Designed for companies planning their entry or expansion into advanced metal recycling and circular resource recovery. MetRec Base Compact entry solution for sustainable metal recycling!

MetRec Base combines mechanical feed preparation and compact TBRC smelting technology for pilot campaigns, first recycling operations, and market entry projects. The concept offers:

• flexible treatment of e-waste materials,

• low operational complexity,

• fast installation, and scalable future expansion potential.

MetRec Hydro The selective hydrometallurgical solution for defined feeds and smaller capacities! MetRec Hydro is a modular hydrometallurgical recycling solution for the selective recovery of copper and precious metals from PCB materials and electronic scrap with reduced thermal energy demand. MetRec Integrated The integrated multi-metal recovery solution for advanced recycling operations! MetRec Integrated combines TBRC smelting with hydrometallurgical refining for flexible treatment of complex e-waste streams, scalable processing capacities, and efficient multi-metal recovery, acting as a bridge between entry-level recycling operations and fully integrated industrial refining plants.

MetRec Complete The fully integrated industrial platform for maximum metal recovery! MetRec Complete is a fully integrated industrial recycling and refining platform combining TBRC smelting, copper refining, precious metal recovery, and advanced off-gas treatment for maximum metal recovery and continuous industrial operation.

A key strength of METTOP is the development of complete turnkey recycling plants tailored to the customer’s exact material streams, production targets, and growth strategy. Whether your goal is to increase metal recovery, reduce environmental impact, or establish future-ready recycling capacity, METTOP is your partner for innovative and economically sustainable metallurgical solutions.
