We're Turning Trash into Treasure.
We are more than one kind of company —advancing research, pioneering new materials, delivering clean energy, innovating with AI, and reimagining real estate.
Our mission is simple: turn waste into value. By repurposing industrial and consumer waste, we create products that use a fraction of the energy and cost of mined resources. Instead of extracting, we unlock value from what others discard, reducing landfill waste and closing loops for long-term impact.
Partnering with global experts, we transform waste into high-performance, sustainable materials. At the center is Silica—the earth’s second most abundant compound—driving cleaner, smarter, more resilient industries.
Brownfields to Green Acres
Created from waste streams themselves, we've evolved proprietary materials that can absorb and sequester contaminants from earth, air, and water. This gives us the capability to restore habitat and turn brownfields into green, productive landscapes. In some cases, they even absorb CO2.
From Code to Concrete. From launching first-of-its-kind AI in 2000—including the Functional Presence Engine (FPE) — to creating sustainable materials today, we’ve evolved from advanced defense technologies to innovations that rejuvenate infrastructure and heal the environment.
The Role of AI at Silica-X
Long before DARPA’s CALO, PAL, Siri, and the rise of LLMs, our team was building AI to tackle the nation’s toughest challenges—driven by one mission: protecting lives.
Learn more about our history with Agentic AI here >>Since 2019, we’ve applied that expertise to turn waste into opportunity—discovering materials that rebuild infrastructure, restore the environment, and advance sustainability. With Wastepoint®, our SaaS platform, industrial byproducts become valuable, scalable, carbon-friendly resources.
Our formulas often rely on geomimicry techniques to engineer solutions
We pattern our development based on natural geological and bio-minerological phenomena - Ensuring that our discoveries and products are restorative and regenerative by design.
At Silica-X, we transform problematic industrial and post-consumer waste into regenerative solutions. Our products have a wide range of applications and minimal environmental impact, and some materials are even carbon-negative.
