Reclamation of Gallium, Indium and Rare-Earth Elements from Photovoltaics, Solid-State Lighting and Electronics Waste (RECLAIM)
Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2016,
Prospective global supply and demand for gallium, indium and other key metals show an increasing discrepancy, amongst others due to the explosive growth of green technologies such as photovoltaics (PV) and solid-state lighting (SSL). While their primary production is highly controlled by a few countries, recycling systems to reclaim these materials from discarded products are not yet in place. Thi ...

Development of recovery processes for recycling of valuable components from FPDs (In, Y, Nd) for the production of high added value NPs (RECYVAL-NANO)
Start date: Dec 1, 2012, End date: Nov 30, 2016,
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment is considered to increase drastically in the coming decades. WEEE contains considerable quantities of valuable components used in high-tech applications that currently are not recycled. Europe needs to improve and develop Recovery, Recycling and Reuse of critical materials in order to avoid the dependency on imports, high prices and risk of supply imposed ...
