Drone recycling recovers critical minerals that would otherwise require destructive mining operations. From Lawrence's recycled drones, we extract copper, cobalt, lithium, and rare earth elements. According to USGS data, a kilogram of drone circuit boards can contain more gold than a metric ton of gold ore — making recovery economically and environmentally essential.
