Investor Matthew Chang says "upcycle, recycle, reclaim, purify" will be his refrain for the next 36 months, spotlighting Determinant Materials, which reclaims high-purity metals like gold, copper and silver using custom equipment and a proprietary scientific process, with more metals being onboarded and metal already flowing to market. He praises founder Nik's vision and the team, and jokes he applied for a one-day internship — this post could be his interview. The quoted post is the company's short film on US-based critical materials refining.
