San Rafael, Bulacan, Philippines, March 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- One and One Green Technologies. INC (“One and One” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: YDDL), a Philippines-based recycler holding a government-issued license in the Philippines to import and process hazardous waste as raw materials, today announced the launch of its Luzon Copper-Gold ore tailings slag recovery business venture. Leveraging its own advantages in licenses, technology and industrial chain synergy, the Company plans to address the gap in the large-scale recovery of copper-gold ore tailings slag in the Philippines.
The International Copper Study Group (ICSG) has estimated a 150,000 metric ton supply deficit in 2026; therefore, this strategic plan is a direct response to a tightening global copper market. The Company plans to work with small-scale mining companies operating in the mineral-rich Luzon region to obtain copper-gold ore tailings slag. The ore tailings slag will then be processed at the Company's main plant and sent to other countries. One and One will use this integrated procurement-smelting-export approach to access the Philippines' mineral reserves to create a new, high-growth source of income.
The energy transition, electrification, and the expansion of AI data centers are driving the global demand for copper. By 2040, S&P Global projects a supply imbalance of 10 million metric tons. Recycled copper, which is One and One's core business, will be crucial to meeting this demand, but new primary tailings slag sources will also be important. This project will enable the Company to capture value from both ends of the supply chain (recycled copper and primary tailings slag) and further expand the scale of procurement of localized raw materials.
“The global copper market is facing a structural supply deficit, and our Luzon Copper-Gold ore tailings slag recovery venture positions us to address this critical need directly,” said Ms. Tina Yan, Chairman and CEO of One and One. “By partnering with local small-scale miners, we are unlocking a new source of valuable copper and gold, creating a powerful synergy with our core recycling business. This initiative is the realization of our strategy to build a resilient, vertically integrated operation capturing value at every stage of the metals lifecycle, from urban mining to primary tailings slag resources.”
