The company's core service involves a patented process to effectively separate automotive shredder residue (ASR) into its three primary components: metals, minerals, and polymers. By utilizing innovative physical separation techniques and photolysis, Grensol recovers metals such as steel, aluminum, and copper, which are resold for manufacturing use. Additionally, the company extracts valuable glass byproducts for cement production and converts hydrocarbon residues into reusable hydrogen and carbon molecules for new polymer production. Grensol's technologies are primarily deployed in Europe, with its first dedicated recycling plant under construction in Biberist, Switzerland, expected to serve both local and broader European markets. The company collaborates with industry partners to adapt its solutions for other waste streams, such as electronic scrap and demolition plastics, thereby broadening its customer base and end-user applications.Grensol AG generates revenue through the sale of recovered materials to various industries, including manufacturing and construction, based on a business-to-business (B2B) transaction model. The company establishes partnerships with manufacturers who require recycled metals and materials as feedstock, facilitating a steady flow of transactions. Upon processing ASR, Grensol offers high-quality recycled materials, which are sold at competitive market rates. In addition to direct sales, Grensol may engage in strategic partnerships with industry players to enhance recycling capabilities and expand its operational footprint. These collaborations can lead to revenue-sharing agreements, where parties benefit from the sustainable materials produced through Grensol’s innovative recycling processes. The company's flagship offerings focus on delivering materials that meet stringent quality standards, thereby ensuring their utility across various manufacturing applications.In July 2025, Grensol AG raised CHF 1.8 mn in SEED funding to support its initiative of building its first recycling site and advancing research efforts. The new facility is expected to enhance the company’s capabilities in material recovery and processing. Grensol plans to utilize the funding to develop and launch new recycling products, as well as expand its operations into broader European markets, strategically targeting regions with high demand for sustainable materials.
