Ecoline Group, a leading provider of industrial and
professional services solutions, announces a strategic collaboration
with Finnish deep-tech company Weeefiner to introduce
a state-of-the-art dissolved-metal recovery solution for Türkiye's
mining and metals industry.
The initiative aims to improve material efficiency and environmental
performance by recovering critical metals, such as copper, from
complex industrial water streams, where they would be otherwise
lost.
As part of the collaboration, Ecoline Group will work closely with
mining and metals stakeholders across Türkiye to map key operational
challenges, identify priority needs, and explore future
opportunities. The objective is to determine where dissolved-metal
recovery can deliver the greatest impact and to identify pilot
projects where the technology can be validated under local process
conditions.
