In the latest CC Pod, Nick van Osdol speaks with Alexander Olesen , Grayson Shor , Brad Herrup , and Nick Kumleben , founders of Buckstop , a platform that uses AI to unlock the “urban mine” of critical minerals embedded in end-of-life electronics. Buckstop is addressing a major bottleneck in the energy transition: the widening gap between the minerals required for clean energy and the sources available to supply them. In the United States, electronics recycling rates remain below 22 percent, far behind the 80 to 90 percent rates seen in parts of Asia.
