What if toxic mining waste could actually boost profits and protect the planet? In this episode of Green Disruptors, Megan talks with Ross Orr, President and CEO of Bactech Environmental, about a radical shift in mining sustainability. Using bioleaching—aka "bugs eating rocks"—Bactech transforms dangerous tailings into valuable metals while neutralizing arsenic and partnering with communities to build local economic resilience.
Ross shares how this game-changing tech is scaling in Ecuador, why financial literacy matters in ESG work, and what’s holding back broader adoption in the mining world. If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to turn a legacy liability into a profitable, regenerative business model—this one’s for you.
