Chief Operating Officer/Chief Technical OfficerAvertana is a deep tech technology company that has been operating for ten years. It has completed its technology to make titanium dioxide and other products out of waste slag that comes from the steelmaking industry. Besides Avertana's new process, there are only two ways to make titanium dioxide, and the latest was invented over 70 years ago.Avertana's process has four main advantages over the current conventional process to make titanium dioxide:We use waste – the Avertana process uses waste as a feedstock, turning it into titanium dioxide and other useful co-products.We don't mine the earth and don't make any waste – the conventional process to make titanium dioxide is to mine the earth. Avertana doesn't mine. The conventional sulphate process to make titanium dioxide also produces many tonnes of red gypsum waste that is stockpiled around the world. Avertana doesn't make any waste.We can do it at a far lower CO2 footprint than the conventional processes to make titanium dioxide.We can do it cheaper – our feedstock is waste and therefore low cost.We have a small, solid team of scientists and engineers who are experts in their fields. Everyone is supportive, collaborative, and active in ensuring activities are safe.
