Juan Carlos grew up in El Salvador where for more than 2 generations his family owned a smelting company. Even from an early age, Juan Carlos questioned the environmental safety of the smelting process. While at UNF, Juan Carlos focused his education on the science, environmental impact and legislative issues related to electronic waste. It was during this time that he developed a vision and the proprietary processes for safely and securely recycling the toughest E-waste challenges. 2362 Emerson St., Suite 1 • Jacksonville, FL 32207 • 904.330.0283 www.UrbanMiningpbc.com • [email protected].
