Fast Metals

FAST Metals is a startup focused on extracting critical minerals from industrial waste, specifically red mud generated from aluminum production. They have developed a proprietary chemical process that utilizes another waste stream from alumina refineries to make the extraction economically viable. Their technology removes iron first, unlocking access to valuable materials like iron, aluminum, scandium, titanium, and rare earth elements, turning a costly waste stream into a source of critical minerals without the need for new mines.
