Mars Mineral was founded in 1972 in response to the 1970 US Clean Air Act amendment. Our founder saw an opportunity for steel mills to take the particulate matter collected by bag houses and pelletize it. Today, Mars pelletizers are found worldwide in the tire recycling, mining, biomass, fertilizer industries, and more. We’re helping companies like yours use our technology and experience to repurpose the byproducts of their processes, creating additional revenue streams and a more sustainable future.
