Chairman of Argos Surface Technologies, in the groundbreaking potential of Circular Materials\u2019 SWaP technology.<br \/>In fact, the collaboration started even before the official founding of the startup. During one of the very first meetings aimed at validating the technological concept behind Circular Materials, Marco Bersani and Andrea Siano met. Andrea was so impressed by the innovative process that he decided not only to personally fund the project, but also to join the Board of Directors.<br \/>Since then, Argos ST has become a key technological partner, providing its wastewater streams to test and validate the recovery process across multiple waste stream types.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-abab847 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"abab847\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5537333 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"5537333\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f079eb0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"f079eb0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What we achieved together:\n <span style=\"color: #ac502c\"> the solution<\/span><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9c73f98 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9c73f98\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Through our collaboration, Circular Materials successfully processed 43 m\u00b3 of chemical nickel wastewater, recovering more than 99% of the dissolved nickel.
