Trisector provides mineral fillers for customers aiming to improve their 'Scope 3' score, including those who are champions in resource management.
Trisector is a green-tech company aiming to limit the use of virgin raw materials. Our mission is to fulfil the increasingly urgent market demand for sustainable raw materials by developing an economically viable process to produce resource efficient secondary raw materials for industry primarily in Northern Europe.
Trisector is developing an innovative process to upcycle mine tailings into secondary raw materials, such as industrial minerals for construction, road building and agroforestry applications and functional fillers used in plastics, paper, paints and sealants.

This is not waste; these are mineral resources which can be upcycled efficiently to valuable raw materials.

Trisector understands how climate concerns have elevated net-zero commitments as the new norm and guiding principle for our economic development. The growing demand for 'zero-emission' consumer goods is driven by a combination of factors such as climate legislation, costly carbon credits, and evolving consumer behaviour.
Within this context, Trisector’s products play a crucial role in meeting the increased emphasis on resource efficiency, recycling, and the circularity of product usage by providing raw materials originating from mining waste. The increased focus on 'sustainability' values, encompassing metrics like carbon footprint, specific energy consumption, and specific water consumption, highlights a shift where traditional raw materials may disappear and be replaced by unconventional 'sustainable' alternatives.
Consequently, by incorporating our mineral fillers, customers can enhance the sustainability metrics of their products and actively participate in reducing reliance on virgin raw materials.

In collaboration with Eesti Energia, Trisector potentially has access to over a hundred million tonnes of mine tailings, accumulated over more than 50 years of mine exploitation. The collaboration undertakes to address the significant waste generated during the enrichment process of the mined oil shale. The cooperation is aligned with Eesti Energia’s ESG strategy and foresees the implementation of processing capacity to process sustainable raw materials, with a target annual capacity exceeding 1 million tons of processed mine tailings at Estonia mine.
Trisector is effectively addressing the large-scale mineral waste problem of Ida-Virumaa, thereby contributing to the comprehensive objectives of the global Sustainable Development Goals.

The upcycling process is based on a proprietary technology concept, with specific solutions which exceed sustainable production expectations, achieved through the implementation of cutting-edge technologies, including production at the industrial edge.
This markedly improves resource efficiency, particularly in specific electricity and water usage and benefits the beneficiation performance, also by sticking to top-tier technological standards in plant design.
Our concept further enables the optimization of renewable energy utilization throughout the entire process.
Our baseline objective for the upcycled products is to achieve an 80% reduction in CO2 emissions, a 50% decrease in water consumption, and a 30% cut in energy consumption with our technology and concept, compared to equivalent products.
