We need refining capacity to secure the critical metals required to build electric vehicles, solar panels, and the devices we rely on every day. Currently, we ship material to China to be refined and then ship it all back for the U.S. to use. That’s a lot of wasted energy.  

Nth Cycle’s technology enables metals to be recovered directly from scrap at the source, making localized refining possible and reducing transportation emissions. Nth Cycle’s solution also cuts refinery build time from five years or more to under two, while delivering competitive margins at 5-10x smaller scale.

That’s why we were so excited to hear that Nth Cycle and CEO Megan O’Connor were able to secure a $1.5 Billion, 10-year agreement with Trifigura, the largest multi-metal offtake agreement between a black mass supplier and a critical metals refiner. 

We’re always excited to see our clients gaining traction with solutions that tackle real-world challenges and move climate progress forward. After partnering with Nth Cycle to create their seed-stage brand (and logo they still use today), we were invited back to support a brand and website refresh in 2025. From strategy to visual identity refinement, copywriting, website design, and development, our goal was to help translate a complex, technical solution into a clear and visually compelling story.
