Sustainable Business of the Future
We are the Walmart of Recycling
2. ProRecycle was born from the expertise and persistency of Dr. Willer Pos and
entrepreneurship of Mr. Marcello Pacheco, in order to implement an efficient and clean
manner to process e-waste in order to extract the main metals contained in the e-waste,
specially precious metals, and reintroduce them into the market.
Dr. Pos earned a PhD in Environmental Chemistry from Georgia Tech-Atlanta/USA
Mr. Pacheco earned and engineering degree in Computer Science from Federal University of
RJ- Rio de Janeiro/Brazil.
In 1996, while a professor/researcher at DESA-UFMG in Brazil, e-waste caught Dr. Pos’
attention. Tons of obsolete computers and accessories were stored in huge decommissioned
warehouse areas, waiting to be thrown in the landfills.
In 2013, e-Recicl@, a pilot plant project, was officially registered and launched in order to
consolidate the business with a disassembling line and a hydrometallurgical process, aiming to
verify the viability of the full process (collection, dismantle and segregation) in Brazil.
ProRecycle now wants tocreateafullscalee-wasterecyclingplanttoprocess US’e-wasteand harvestprecious

The Objective
3. For cellular phones, the latest data
points to 150 million lines
connected in use (2012).
Considering each user with at least
two cellular's (one in operation and
the other in some office or home
draw) and an obsolescence rate of
1 ½ year, we are talking about a
market availability of at least 50
Million devices yearly.
THE SIZE OF THE BUSINESS
Our goal is to reach 1% of this Urban
Mining resource.
5. Raw Material is widely available in abundance.
” Compared to conventional mining, only 5% of the resources used in the
exploration, acquisition of areas and mitigation of environmental damage are
enough to pay for the logistics, marketing and acquisition of material for
processing plant and procedures. "
A lot of businesses donate, discard or sell computer boards and electronics
already dismantled, READY FOR PROCESSING.
Estimates calculated in two master's theses (DESA-UFMA) indicate availability
of approximately 25 tons / month of electronics in a metropolitan area with
an average price of $ 3.50 / kg

9. The Problem
Every year the generation of e-waste
increases by more than 10%

10. Current Solutions
Current recycling technologies produces greenhouse gas and other pollutants
Licensing and permitting for Recycling Plants are limited and costly
Due to Federal, State, County and Municipalities’ environmental regulations and procedures,
It’s very costly to implement a recycling center due to the high degree of pollutants generated
by conventional methods of recycling, such as incinerators and such. The costly investment in
filters, shredders and landfills makes most recycling plants and process prohibitive and only
available to big corporations.
Pollutants generated from current E-Recycling techniques are either
burned or thrown in a landfill
11. ProRecycle Solution
The ProRecycle solution promises a Zero gas Emissions, 100% water and chemical recovery-back
to initial stage. Which would reduce implementation cost, permitting requirements and
complete monetization of end results.

12. Revenue ModelThe revenue model herein it’s intended to illustrate the lucrative business model that ProRecyle
can implement with requested funding and cash flow requested.
Different items can be used in the process but only four basic items were used on the proven
model: Cellular Phones, Computer Boards, CPUs and Memory Chips (DIMMs or SIMMs).
Cost was calculated using Average cost and price method, according to GAAP principals, source
from various places (eBay, National Vendor and waste management facilities).
Please see next slide for revenue details.

15. e-Waste Business
Main Competition
The Refining Company, Inc.
The two main advantages of ProRecycle project over the mentioned competition is its
proprietary clean process, which eliminates the pollutants, makes the process more efficient
and cost saving, as there is no need for complicated and costly process to get rid of dejects.
And the process allows growth of work force as a needed basis, making it more cost efficient.
As well the implementation costs of Pro-Recycle plant is about 1/10 of a conventional plant,
making ProRecycle more agile and able to implement its business model in any part of the globe,
in compliance with any environmental protection law in existence and future
