Field notes from the recovery line.
Chemistry, engineering and operations writing from the PolyGO team. Practical, vendor-honest, and grounded in the deployments we've actually run.
Why we built non-cyanide gold leaching from day one
Cyanide gold leaching still dominates the recovery industry. Here's why PolyGO refused to build on it — and what the non-cyanide alternative actually looks like in production.
Feasibility-first engineering — why we test before we quote
Generic chemistry quotes are how recovery projects fail. Here's the feasibility process PolyGO runs on every new feedstock before recommending a single drum.
End-of-life PV panels are the next silver feedstock
The first wave of crystalline-silicon photovoltaic panels is reaching end-of-life. Silver paste from those panels is a meaningful recovery opportunity — and a chemistry problem.
