Let's eliminate the concept of waste alltogether
We create valuable, award winning geological analogs from industrial residues – We call them GEMs™
GEMs are synthetic, mineralized stones produced from one or more waste streams. By controlling the front-end formulation and the synthesis processes, we can tailor both the chemical and physical properties of these geological analogs to meet the demands of an ever-growing suite of applications.
With every discovery comes a new potential market, and we have been making a lot of discoveries.
Along with our partners at SRNL, we are a recipient of one of this year's R&D 100 Awards. We were awarded for Advanced Engineered Cellular Magmatics - one of our GEMs.
These materials are enabling us to replace gray infrastructure with green infrastructure and revive ancient technologies like Roman Concrete analogs, capable of lasting hundreds of years.
We’re harvesting new materials from waste.
Silica-X features a multi-disciplined talent pool to deliver on transformational development at record speed.
Our founders are responsible for a new class of materials that are being heralded by the U.S Department of Energy, Savannah River National Lab, and the American Ceramics Society as a foundation for the future.
Our first GEMs were called engineered cellular magmatics (ECMs) and were synthesized from waste glass. These GEMs are a revolutionary synthetic, engineered pumice-like material based on the nearly century-old technology of “foam glass”.
Silica-X has gone beyond waste glass and has successfully incorporated multiple waste streams into GEMs – these include MSWI/WtE ash, coal combustion products, agricultural residues, and mining wastes.

GEMs are an evolutionary leap and enable the synthesis of materials with properties that can be tailored for advanced applications.
GEMs are extremely versatile with variations sharing as much as 95% of their base formula.

WastePoint®
We use our proprietary Wastepoint AI as a secret weapon to transform waste into revenue. Wastepoint is an intelligent SaaS platform that can take any waste stream, at any level of disposal and generate probable revenue streams based on the availability, ease of reuse, and components within that waste stream.
Our upcoming version will be publicly available and able to target any waste stream.
