Greene Lyon Group, Inc. operates at the intersection of technology and sustainability, focusing on developing recycling solutions for materials that have been historically difficult to process. The company was established in 2007 by Dale Johnson, who currently serves as CEO and President. Mr. Johnson's background includes extensive experience in electronics manufacturing and end-of-life services, having previously co-founded and led an electronics recycling company, MaSeR Corporation, and served as EVP of a global electronics contract manufacturer where he was instrumental in its growth and successful IPO. John Walshe, the Vice President, brings a wealth of experience in business operations and supply chain management from his time at Sun Microsystems and as a consultant for Fortune 500 companies.
The firm's business is structured around two primary technology divisions: IC Recovery and precious metal recovery. The IC Recovery division provides a "Recovery as a Service" (RaaS) model, where it uses a proprietary thermofluid process called Chip-Renew™ to safely remove and refurbish integrated circuits from scrap populated circuit boards. These certified, refurbished chips are then supplied to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), IT asset disposition (ITAD) companies, and e-recyclers, offering a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative to new chips. This service became particularly relevant during recent global chip shortages.
Through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Greene Lyon Metals, the company has commercialized its PM-STRIP® technology. This non-cyanide, selective chemical process is designed to recover precious metals that are thinly plated on base metal substrates. The initial application focuses on stripping silver from copper and copper alloys, yielding high-grade Greene Silver™ and clean copper as separate products. The company has stated its intention to expand the PM-STRIP® application to recover other valuable metals, including gold and platinum group metals in the future.
