Built by a chemist and an automation engineer.
Founded in Singapore in 2019, PolyGO develops chemical-based recovery solutions, the PolyGOResin™ Select Series and process system design for the precious metal recovery industry.
PolyGO exists because precious metal recovery operators kept being sold the same generic chemistry stack — one tuned for nothing in particular and compliant with regulations that already moved on. We started by reformulating gold and silver leaching to be non-cyanide by default, then extended into nickel, PGMs, precipitation and surface preparation.
Our chemistry now spans three product categories: stripping products that recover precious metals in solid form directly from solid waste (no precipitation needed), leaching products that dissolve metals into solution for downstream precipitation, and precipitation chemicals for recovering precious metals from liquid waste streams. Around them sits the PolyGOResin™ Select Series — an ion-exchange resin cartridge that holds across the full pH range and selectively binds precious-metal ions out of complex industrial solutions.
PolyGO wasn't built to replace existing operators — it was built to empower them. To help recyclers expand their capabilities, recover a wider range of metals, and unlock value from materials that were previously out of reach. We are a product company: our customers are the recyclers, refiners and industrial operators who run the lines themselves. Every engagement starts with a feasibility study on your actual waste stream — we prove the chemistry works on your feedstock before you commit.
- Built to empower operators, not replace them
PolyGO wasn't built to compete with recyclers — it was built to help them expand capabilities, recover a wider range of metals, and unlock value from materials that were previously out of reach.
- Product company, not a recycler
We sell chemistry, resins and engineering — your operation runs the line and owns the feedstock.
- Engineered for compliance and safety
Non-cyanide chemistries by default, with built-in safety features in every recovery system we design.
- Feasibility-first — we prove they work
Every engagement starts with a feasibility study on your actual waste stream. We characterise, customise and validate before you commit.
- Built on real deployments
Our product roadmap is driven by what runs reliably on customer lines across Singapore, Malaysia and beyond.
