The shortage of raw materials, the growing environmental impact and the need for greater independence for the primary supply chain - particularly regarding critical materials, requires transition from a “Linear Economy” to a “Circular Economy” that allows us to maintain our growing level of technological development. The increase in awareness both in the private and public sector and progressively more restrictive legislation are driving this change.
- Within this circular economy framework, waste is an important source of resources for the industry, although it has yet to be exploited properly.
- The recovery processes must consider increasingly complex technology that can recover the maximum variety and quantity of raw materials from increasingly complex waste.
Webinar organised by SECARTYS and TECNALIA
- The webinar will introduce the context and current situation of waste generation, and the variation detected in flows of waste materials given the technological evolution.
- It will highlight trends in legislative standards on electronic waste.
- Possible conventional solutions will be demonstrated, plus innovative solutions from our experts to repurpose waste, targeting recovery of critical materials.
Issues to be addressed
- Context and current situation
- Applicable law
- Market trends
- Solutions for recycling and recovery of critical metals
