Unclaimed brand
KP Labs, an innovation studio of KonsciousPlanet Technologies LLC, is a Houston-based deep-tech company commercializing a proprietary modular platform that recovers critical metals — copper, cobalt, lithium, and nickel — from industrial wastewater, e-waste, and landfill leachate. Our 20-ft containerized module deploys at the waste source, off-grid, without chemical reagents, at $280K versus multi-million-dollar centralized alternatives. Negative feedstock economics, 56–75% gross margins, and a 14-month payback period define a fundamentally different unit economics model for domestic critical mineral supply. Critical minerals are buried in waste streams. We built the technology to get them out at 50% lower OPEX onsite itself. KP Labs recovers copper, cobalt, lithium, and nickel from industrial wastewater, e-waste, and landfill leachate using a proprietary biotech process — deployed in a 20-ft container, off-grid, at the waste source. No expensive chemicals. No centralized plant. A $280K module where competitors need millions. We're backed by NVIDIA Inception, NSF I-Corps, Plug and Play 2026, and Greentown Houston — and building the modular infrastructure for domestic critical mineral recovery.

Konscious Planet is a Houston-based organization focused on recovering critical minerals from waste and underused industrial resources. Its approach, expressed in the motto “We don’t dig. We grow,” is designed as an alternative to conventional mining and large-scale smelting. The company combines bacteria with selective leaching and nanomembrane filtration to extract metals including lithium, copper, nickel, cobalt, and rare earths. It describes its process as low-energy and capable of producing high-purity materials.
Konscious Planet’s recovery systems are housed in mobile, 20- or 40-foot containers that can be transported to the waste source, rather than requiring waste to be moved elsewhere for processing. The company identifies data center waste, geothermal brines, industrial effluents, and electronic waste as potential resource streams. Its work targets materials needed for the energy transition by treating discarded or overlooked sources as possible supplies of valuable metals. The company’s website features information about its applications, resources, news, and projects, and provides contact details for inquiries.
