Aurenis Business Model Canvas

Partnerships with smelters and refiners allow Aurenis to outsource final-stage metallurgy, leveraging >150 ktpa global refinery capacity for scale and saving up to 12% in capex on on‑site refinements (2024 industry averages). Access to licensed hydrometallurgical processes has improved recovery rates by up to 8 percentage points in 2024 pilots. Joint R&D pilots with licensors test novel separations, reducing reagent use by ~15%. Secured offtake agreements pre-sell up to 80% of output, cushioning price volatility.

Multi‑year supply deals with scrap dealers and aggregators secure 60–80% of intake, cutting price volatility; 2024 trials raised recovery yields up to 15%. OEM take‑back/closed‑loop programs improve feedstock quality and support traceable ESG disclosures; global e‑waste was 59.3 Mt (2021). Smelter/refiner partnerships lower capex ~12% and 2024 pilots added +8pp recovery while cutting reagent use ~15%; logistics/insurance keep transit premiums ~0.5–1.5%.

Aurenis maintains ISO 14001 and ISO 9001 certifications and WEEE compliance; ISO Survey 2023 reported ~1.24 million ISO 9001 and ~370,000 ISO 14001 certificates globally. Chain-of-custody documentation is generated for every client consignment. ESG and scope-related metrics are compiled quarterly and reported to stakeholders. Regular audits and monthly training sustain standards.

Coordinated logistics, onsite sorting and process controls cut handling/fuel costs up to 25% and raise recovered-stream purity >90%. Mechanical/chemical processing yields gold 95–99% and copper 90–99% (2024), with final purities gold 99.99 and copper 99.9. Compliance, ISO 9001/14001, GDPR/CNIL and traceability ensure market access and quarterly ESG reporting.

Metallurgists, 8 process engineers and EHS specialists run the plant, with 2024 safety programs cutting recordable incidents 40% year-over-year. Multilingual BPO team of 120 agents and supervisors delivers outcomes across 10 languages. Six data analysts optimized campaigns in 2024, raising ROI 22%. Centralized knowledge bases reduced onboarding time by 35% in 2024.

Core processing lines (shredders, furnaces, leach reactors) deliver >85% metal recovery and handle several tonnes/day; SCADA/MES cut unplanned downtime ~30%. 120‑agent BPO team handled >1M monthly interactions in 2024; on‑site labs give ±1–2% assay precision. Long‑term scrap contracts and offtakes stabilize revenue; hedging limits price exposure.

Certifications (ISO 14001, R2) and documented safe handling reduce environmental and legal exposure, while over 90% of S&P 500 now publish ESG metrics (2024), enabling measurable impact for corporate reporting. Vetted downstream partners and third-party audits prevent leakage and supply-chain incidents. Tailored environmental liability insurance adds financial assurance.

End-to-end metals recycling single-vendor model reduces coordination and speeds cash conversion; 2024 market ~$43B. Pilots: 96% precious, 89% non-ferrous recovery; yield-linked pricing and independent assays increase buyer trust. ISO14001/R2, vetted downstreams and CNIL-compliant GTM lower legal/ESG risk and enable rapid France entry within weeks-to-setup.

Real-time KPIs for yield, turnaround and campaign metrics are displayed on interactive dashboards to drive daily decisions. Monthly summaries in 2024 consolidate performance and surface actionable insights for stakeholders. Built-in benchmarking flags priority improvement areas versus peer cohorts. All reports are exportable in CSV and JSON to support audits and compliance.

Dedicated named AMs ensure 99.9% SLA adherence and quarterly business reviews, driving a 78% renewal rate and leveraging a Bain-cited 5% retention lift to increase profits 25–95%. Onboarding and supplier programs cut defects 30% and onboarding time 20%, with 82% portal adoption and 22% higher loyalty from fast payments. 48% of 2024 pilots scaled to production, enabling joint IP and rapid feedback loops.

Presence at recycling, sustainability, and publishing forums builds a steady pipeline, with the global recycling market estimated at about $353 billion in 2024. Securing speaking slots positions Aurenis as a thought leader, driving awareness and lead quality. Networking at events yields partnerships and pilot projects, while contributing to standards-setting bodies amplifies influence across supply chains.

Enterprise sales and targeted tenders secure multi‑year OEM and industrial contracts; RFPs/public tenders were ~30% of B2B procurement spend in 2024. Organic SEO and case studies drive half of site sessions; webinars convert ~6%. Events and standards work tap a recycling market worth ~$353B (2024). Partner MDF (7–10% avg) and listings/e‑auctions (5–15% savings) accelerate scale.

Municipalities and private waste collectors managing WEEE streams must meet regulatory compliance and detailed reporting while covering collection and processing costs; decisions are driven by service coverage and unit economics. Global e-waste reached 59.3 million tonnes in 2021 (UNU Global E-waste Monitor), underlining scale and municipal exposure. Community impact on public health and recycling jobs influences procurement and partnership choices.

Electronics OEMs/EMS need compliant take‑back, chain‑of‑custody and long contracts (EMS market ~USD 460B 2023). Industrial scrap generators demand transparent grading for high‑value metals (auto = ~25% aluminum demand 2024). Municipal WEEE managers require compliant, cost‑covering collection (e‑waste 59.3 Mt 2021). EdTech/marketing need multilingual, SOC2 CRM and outcome pricing (EdTech ~USD 254B 2024).

Labor costs cover engineers ($110k median), operators/agents ($45k), supervisors ($70k) and QA ($60k) with recruitment/onboarding averaging $4,700 per hire and training spend about $1,300 per employee annually (2023 ATD/SHRM benchmarks). Continuous safety and compliance programs typically require 15–20 hours/year and drive lower incident rates. Performance incentives (5–15% of base pay) align outcomes and reduce turnover-related costs.

Equipment capex and depreciation drive the majority of fixed plant costs (capex/rev 5–12% in 2024) while preventive maintenance reduces unplanned downtime up to 50%. Key variable costs include fuel ($3.90/gal), electricity (EU €0.18–€0.24/kWh) and consumables; labor mix and training add predictable recurring spend. Overhead — CRM, SOC 2, marketing (~9.5% rev) — completes the cost base.

Call center retainers charge monthly fees for dedicated teams with SLA coverage, typically tiered by seat counts (10/50/100+) and coverage hours (8/16/24), reflecting 2024 market practice. Retainers bundle tooling and management overheads into per-seat pricing, which in 2024 commonly ranged $350–$650/month. Volume discounts (often up to 20–25% at 100+ seats) incentivize scale.

Aurenis revenue: processing fees $40–$150/ton (expedited +10–30%), bundled discounts 5–20%, monthly minimums 50–200 tons. Metal sales tied to LBMA/spot with COMEX/LME hedges; firm offtakes secure cash flow. Call‑center retainers $350–$650/seat/mo; performance pilots $5k–$20k with bonuses to 20%. Consulting adds project/retainer fees; language services market ~$56B (2023).
