About Gloco Group

A practical holding company for technical ventures.

Gloco Group Pty Ltd is an Australian company building a portfolio of ventures across software, hardware, physical products, recycling, and selected industrial opportunities. The group combines software development capability with hands-on interest in practical products, circular materials, and technical supply chains.

Our current work includes operating software and product businesses, while exploring new ventures in battery recycling, tungsten recycling, and field technology for industrial and resources contexts. These new ventures are in evaluation and development, with early supplier engagement, prototype work, and commercial pathway assessment underway.

Venture portfolio

Building a diversified portfolio across technology, hardware, products and circular materials.

The portfolio is deliberately broad but execution-led: software products, physical hardware, consumer product concepts, recycling opportunities, and selective industrial technology.

Co Li

Battery recycling venture

Recovering critical materials from battery waste.

Gloco Group is exploring a battery recycling venture focused on recovering cobalt, lithium, manganese, nickel, and other valuable elements from end-of-life lithium-ion battery material and related feedstocks.

The investigation draws on hydrometallurgical process concepts used for black mass processing: feedstock characterisation, selective leaching, purification, and product recovery. The goal at this stage is to assess technical pathways, feedstock availability, and practical commercial options.

Target materials Cobalt, lithium, nickel, manganese and adjacent battery metals.

Current focus Feedstock assessment, process options, and domestic supply chain relevance.

Stage Early venture exploration and technical review.

Areas under review

Battery black mass and mixed lithium-ion chemistries
Wet-chemical recovery and impurity management
Potential refined metal salt product pathways

Partner profile

Battery waste collectors and processors
Black mass producers and materials suppliers
Laboratories and technical collaborators

Evaluation approach

Characterise feedstock quality, variability, and handling requirements
Review wet-chemical recovery, impurity management, and product options
Assess whether the opportunity supports a practical domestic supply chain

Project Wolfram

Investigating tungsten recycling pathways.

Project Wolfram is Gloco Group's tungsten recycling investigation. The project is focused on understanding whether scrap tungsten and tungsten-bearing materials can be sourced, characterised, processed, and moved into viable downstream pathways.

The current work is intentionally exploratory. Rather than presenting a fixed output route, the project is evaluating feedstock quality, material handling, process choices, testing requirements, and supplier relationships.

Material interest Scrap tungsten, cemented carbide, powders, offcuts and residues.

Technical focus Bench-scale evaluation, composition data, and process pathway comparison.

Stage Supplier qualification and exploratory test work.

Supplier information sought

Composition data or certificates of analysis where available
Chain-of-custody and safety information
Small initial quantities for controlled evaluation

Commercial posture

Confidential supplier conversations welcomed
Logistics, compliance, and test scope handled directly
No final downstream product claim until test work supports it

Evaluation approach

Screen suitable tungsten-bearing feedstocks and supplier fit
Review material samples, composition data, and test requirements
Continue only where evidence supports a credible commercial pathway

XRF

IoT and industrial analytics

XRF hardware and AI data products for resources operations.

Gloco Group is exploring IoT hardware and analytics products for mining and resources operations, with a focus on XRF hardware technology development, field data capture, and AI data analytics product development.

The thesis is simple: field and laboratory data should be easier to capture, standardise, interpret, and turn into operational decisions. Potential products may combine ruggedised devices, assay-adjacent workflows, cloud data pipelines, and AI tools for pattern detection and reporting.

XRF hardware Concepts for instrument-adjacent capture, calibration workflows and field usability.

AI analytics AI data products for trend detection, reporting, QA workflows and operational insight.

Stage Product discovery, workflow mapping and prototype planning.

AI software product

Sartano: fashion discovery with a personal AI stylist.

Sartano is an AI-assisted fashion discovery app for finding clothing and outfits across retailers. It helps users start with natural-language prompts, refine the feed around their taste, save standouts, and open products direct from the source.

The product is built around focused shopping rather than endless browsing: profiles, swipes, loved items, budgets, manual filters and AI styling help the feed improve over time.

User promise Find fashion faster with AI search, product feeds and outfit review.

Market Australian shoppers browsing local and international retailers.

Stage Consumer software product with app-led growth.

Outdoor hardware product

Dusi: vacuum-compression dry bags for people who move far.

Dusi is an outdoor gear venture developing rugged packing systems for hikers, backpackers, campers and minimalist travellers. The first product line is a patent-pending vacuum-compression dry bag concept in 15L and 30L sizes.

The product combines a waterproof roll-top format with a one-way evacuation valve, helping compress soft gear such as sleep systems, puffers and camp clothes. The same bag can also be tuned into a trail pillow by adjusting loft through the valve.

Product system Waterproof roll-top shell, one-way valve and compression workflow.

Launch path Kickstarter-oriented product development and early backer community.

Stage Physical product development and launch preparation.

Partner confidence

Commercially minded, technically curious, and innovation-led.

Gloco Group is building relationships with suppliers and partners who value clear communication, practical test programs, and a serious approach to early-stage venture development.

Technical diligence

We approach new industrial ventures through staged testing, documented assumptions, supplier conversations, prototype review, and attention to realistic commercial pathways.

Supplier professionalism

We respect commercial sensitivities, confidentiality, material handling requirements, and the documentation suppliers need to transact with confidence.

Technology execution

Our software background supports rapid prototyping, data capture, workflow design, analytics, automation, and the development of tools for practical field and industrial operations.
