Recovering critical minerals — and closing four more loops.

PlanetLoop is a circular-economy platform built first for the hardest problem: recovering the critical minerals the energy transition depends on, from electronic waste and the supply chain. The same infrastructure now powers five circular loops, each connecting every user who touches it.

01

Connect

Onboard every participant in the value chain onto one trusted platform.

02

Trace

Track materials, products and flows with provenance end to end.

03

Match

AI pairs supply, demand, surplus and recovery to the right party.

04

Verify

Measure outcomes against ground truth for audit-ready reporting.

C-Loop · Critical Minerals

Recover the critical minerals the energy transition depends on — before they are lost to landfill.

Digital platform

Our flagship loop. PlanetLoop traces critical minerals across the supply chain, identifies and quantifies the valuable minerals locked inside electronic waste before processing, proves responsible sourcing, and closes the loop by recovering them from products at end of life — turning a strategic supply risk into a secured, circular source.

E-Loop · Electronic Waste

Turn e-waste from a liability into a recovered-value stream.

Digital platform

Connect the parties who generate, collect and process electronic waste, so devices and components are tracked, recovered and responsibly recycled instead of landfilled.

F-Loop · Food

Close the loop on food — from field to fork to recovery.

Digital platform

A shared platform that connects everyone who touches the food system, so surplus, spoilage and demand signals move to the right party before value is lost.

T-Loop · Textiles

Trace every fibre — from raw material to resale to recycling.

Digital platform

Digital traceability for textiles: follow a garment across its full life, verify provenance and sustainability claims, and route end-of-life material back into supply.

Give everyday items a second life — books, toys, DVDs and more.

Digital platform

A circular marketplace infrastructure for used goods — matching sellers, buyers and collectors so books, toys, media and household items keep circulating instead of being discarded.

C-Loop in practice

Recovering critical minerals, step by step.

How the flagship loop turns an incoming stream of electronic waste into recovered, traceable, market-ready secondary minerals.

01 · Identify

See the value before you process

As circuit boards and devices arrive, PlanetLoop's discovery engine estimates the recoverable gold, palladium and rare earths inside each batch — so decisions are made on value, not guesswork.

98.4%confidence on composition estimates
02 · Recover

Choose the optimal pathway

The recovery-optimisation engine recommends whether to reuse, refurbish, remanufacture or recycle each item, balancing economic return, environmental impact and operational cost.

+ yieldhigher recovery vs manual triage
03 · Trade & prove

Sell with provenance attached

Recovered minerals enter the critical-minerals exchange as secondary raw material, each unit carrying an auditable record of origin, process and verified yield — a passport buyers and regulators trust.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Answers to the questions we hear most. Still unsure? Get in touch and we'll walk you through it.

C-Loop (Critical Minerals), E-Loop (Electronic Waste), F-Loop (Food), T-Loop (Textiles) and Re-Loop (Reuse & Recommerce). Each is a digital platform for a specific circular value chain, built on the same underlying PlanetLoop infrastructure.
Critical minerals are the hardest loop to close and the most strategically urgent — the minerals the energy transition depends on are being landfilled inside electronic waste every day. PlanetLoop was built first to solve that problem, and C-Loop remains our primary focus.
Yes. Because every Loop runs on the same infrastructure, organisations that operate across several value chains — for example an electronics manufacturer touching both critical minerals and e-waste — can run multiple Loops on one platform, with shared data and traceability.
Ingestion typically connects in days rather than quarters using open APIs and standard connectors. A working session on a slice of your real value chain is usually the fastest way to see time-to-value for your specific Loop.
