Integrated solutions for pre-processing electronic equipment, closing the loop of post-consumer high-grade plastics, and advanced recovery of critical raw materials antimony and graphite (CloseWEEE)
Start date: Dec 1, 2014, End date: Nov 30, 2018,
The CloseWEEE project integrates three interlinked research and innovation areas for an improved, resource-efficient recycling of polymer materials and critical raw materials from electrical and electronics equipment (EEE):(1) Efficient and effective disassembly of EEE is key for high quality material fractions, separation of materials but also for reuse of components and parts. An information sy ...

New demonstrative pilot plant for the recycling of NdFeB magnets from discarded HDDs (LIFE RECYMAGNET)
Start date: Sep 1, 2014, End date: Feb 28, 2018,
Background
Currently most of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) is incinerated or sent to landfill. This waste stream needs to be correctly managed to prevent the release of the many toxic compounds in WEEE into the environment. Spain produces about 200 000 tonnes of WEEE per year. This waste is also rich in scarce natural elements for which ...

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 ...
