“Field Testing @ BioSarthi Facility, India”
♻️🤝KP Labs team visited the BioSarthi biodigester plant in Gwalior, India, to test our metal-recovery approach on-site using sulfide-rich streams from anaerobic digestion. The visit supports our work to turn digester by-products into a reagent for recovering critical metals from waste.
Stay tuned for our first-of-a-kind 20-ft commercial module launch this year!
“KP Labs <> E-Reciklaža, EU Partnership”
🚀🤝This Sept 2026, our CEO, Dr Ashish, visited the E-Reciklaža facility in the Serbia region (EU) to engage in a strategic partnership in the domain of modular recovery of critical metals in the Balkans.
“Team KP Labs showcased at the Fed Supernova Event in Austin ”
🌱⚡Proud moment for Team KP Labs at the Fed Supernova Event sponsored by Capital Factory in Austin, showcasing how biology can recover critical minerals from e-waste and industrial waste streams. Grateful for the conversations, the connections, and the momentum toward a circular critical-minerals future.
“KP Labs had a big March in Houston!”
KP Labs got the mic to present during CERAWeek 2026:

“KP Labs had its first booth at Greentown Labs!”
We showcased our Waste-to-Resource modular technology at the Greentown Labs during H-town 2026:
🏠 H-Town Roundup — Greentown Labs Houston
Represented as proud Greentown members alongside Houston's best innovators
Grateful to Greentown Labs for the platforms. Proud of the KP Labs team for representing with energy and conviction.
“KP Labs got featured on the Energy Tech Startups Podcast (Episode 93)!”
In the latest episode of the EnergyTech Startups Podcast, Dr. Ashish (CEO/cofounder) of KP Labs, and Siddhartha Paul (inventor of the technology) break down how they’re turning e-waste into a new source of nickel, cobalt, and other critical materials.
Grateful to Energy Tech Nexus for the platforms.
“KP Labs got selected at the Gordon Research Conference (GRC 2026).”
✨ A Rare Moment of Joy ✨
Grateful to share that I was selected by the GRC conference selection committee to present my work last week at the Gordon Research Conferences on AI for Materials, Energy, and Chemical Sciences (AIMECS 2026) hosted at the iconic island hotel Grand Galvez.
“Siddhartha Paul was featured in Rice Alliance | UH Red Labs 2023”
✨ First public traction of KP Labs (previously “Greedy Green”) ✨
A wonderful experience to be featured in the 2023 cohort of one of the best business accelerator programs in the US, sponsored by Rice University and the University of Houston.
“Siddhartha Paul attended Recell Event 2023 at the US National Lab, Chicago”
At this in-person meeting, located at Argonne National Laboratory on April 26-28, 2023, ReCell provided an update on the work it has been doing and solicited feedback. Siddhartha Paul had a great technical & scientific discussion with some great minds on the pathway to commercialisation. Siddhartha Paul also secured access to the APS facility during his master’s program, which was funded by the US Bureau of Reclamation.
“Siddhartha Paul made the first scientific breakthrough in biologically extracting a few critical metals from EoL batteries”
During his graduate thesis, Siddhartha Paul, for the first time, demonstrated that critical metals such as nickel and others can be biologically extracted using non-genetically modified bacteria without any toxic, specialised or expensive chemicals. This study was peer-reviewed and published in the Journal of Environmental Management (2020) - Elsevier.
