Feedstock, not an end-product
Recovered material is treated as the beginning of a materials programme. Public language does not invent diversion rates, tonnages, or customer waste contracts.
[ Technology ] · resource recovery
Recovery is the start of an engineering sequence.
Resource recovery at VSGH is feedstock preparation: identifying, receiving, and concentrating value-bearing streams so that purification and metallurgy can follow. This is not a municipal recycling narrative and not a disclosure of plant design.
Where it sits in the chain
Recovery precedes purification. Purification precedes metallurgy and processing. Application is last, and only as a discussion of fitness — not as a claim of use.
Sequence
Identify
Streams that may be suitable for materials work, under controlled handling.
Receive
Intake as an engineering activity, not as an open dump.
Concentrate
Separate value-bearing fractions. Methods remain unpublished.
Hand to purification
Pass a defined feedstock question to the next discipline.

Purification makes metallurgy possible.
Unwanted constituents are a materials problem before they are a marketing story.
