HOW CARBONIX TECHNOLOGY WORKS
-> Carbonix will scale-up a project that produces active carbons from sustainably sourced feedstock, like petroleum coke and wood waste, and uses them to capture contaminants from industrial waste streams and mine tailings.
-> This project aims to accelerate the return of water used during extraction processes back to the environment and accelerate land restoration.
