Igneo Technologies hires chief strategy officer

Igneo Technologies LLC, an Atlanta-based global recycling company that transforms low-grade electronic scrap into high-grade, sustainable copper concentrate, has named Lars Radowitz as its chief strategy officer, effective Sept. 1. Prior to this appointment, Radowitz worked for more than 20 years at Aurubis, a large copper producer that’s headquartered in Germany.

“I am honored and excited to help carry out Igneo’s vision for the future,” Radowitz says. “Igneo provides a unique value proposition for their suppliers and customers, while at the same time operating a truly sustainable solution to e-waste.” 

In his previous role as vice president of raw materials recycling at Aurubis, Radowitz focused on purchasing raw material feed for recycling and the company’s global market strategy.

“Lars’ extensive industry experience is a tremendous asset to Igneo,” says Igneo President and CEO Danish Mir. “His knowledge will help propel the business forward as we grow our footprint in Europe, the United States and beyond.” 

Igneo operates a metal recovery plant in Isbergues, France, with an infeed capacity of 30,000 metric tons per year. The company is constructing a second plant in Savannah, Georgia, that is expected to process 90,000 metric tons per year once it is online in early 2024.
