Flagship loop · Critical minerals

The intelligence infrastructure for critical minerals.

The minerals the energy transition depends on are being landfilled inside electronic waste every day. C-Loop finds them, recovers them, and proves where every gram came from — turning a strategic supply risk into a circular, auditable source.

The intelligence layer

Infrastructure, not a middleman.

C-Loop is built on PlanetLoop's four-layer platform — pointed entirely at critical minerals. Data connects the value chain; AI turns it into recovery decisions; the infrastructure makes every claim trustworthy.

Layer 01 · Discover

Critical-mineral discovery

Estimate the recoverable minerals locked inside electronic waste and feedstock before processing — composition, value and confidence, per batch.

Layer 02 · Decide

Recovery optimisation

AI recommends the optimal pathway for every unit — reuse, refurbish, remanufacture or recycle — balancing economic return, environmental impact and operational cost.

Layer 03 · Trace

Provenance & passports

Every recovered gram carries an auditable record of origin, process and verified yield — the digital passport that proves responsible sourcing end to end.

Layer 04 · Trade

Critical minerals exchange

Recovered minerals enter a transparent exchange as secondary raw material, matched to buyers and refiners with provenance attached.

C-Loop in practice

From waste stream to secured supply.

How the intelligence infrastructure turns an incoming stream of electronic waste into recovered, traceable, market-ready critical minerals.

01 · Identify

See the value first

Composition scans and the discovery engine quantify recoverable minerals per batch, so no value is processed blind.

estimate confidence
02 · Recover

Optimal pathway, every time

The optimisation engine routes each unit to the highest-value, lowest-impact recovery pathway available.

03 · Prove & trade

Sell with provenance

Recovered minerals enter the exchange with an auditable passport buyers and regulators trust.

Critical Minerals Observatory

Supply risk, visible before it bites.

C-Loop's Observatory monitors material flows, recovery performance, resource availability and strategic supply-chain risk in real time — so organisations and policymakers see critical-mineral exposure early enough to act.

FAQ

Critical minerals, answered

The questions processors, manufacturers and policymakers ask us most.

C-Loop is PlanetLoop's flagship loop and intelligence infrastructure for critical minerals. It connects the players across the critical-minerals value chain and uses AI to discover, recover, trace and trade the minerals the energy transition depends on — from electronic waste and the broader supply chain.
A critical-mineral discovery engine estimates the recoverable gold, palladium, rare earths and other minerals inside each batch of electronic waste before processing begins — so recovery decisions are made on quantified value and confidence, not guesswork.
The Observatory is C-Loop's monitoring layer. It tracks material flows, recovery performance, resource availability and strategic supply-chain risk in real time, giving processors, manufacturers and policymakers early visibility of critical-mineral supply risk.
Every recovered unit carries an auditable record of its origin, the process applied and its verified yield — a digital passport. That provenance is what lets recovered minerals be sold as responsibly sourced secondary raw material and trusted by buyers and regulators.
Miners and extractors, battery and electronics manufacturers, EV and electronics OEMs, metal refiners, recyclers and recovery operators, and the policy and ESG teams who need visibility and assurance across the critical-minerals supply chain.
