Recycling elements from e-waste
From smartphones to green energy initiatives, Technology Critical Elements (TCE) such as gallium, indium, and platinum, are essential yet difficult to replace. Recycling them from e-waste supports sustainability but presents a complex analytical challenge. Working with European partners from industry, academia and research institutes we are developing sampling methods, chemical analysis, reference materials and tools to support companies maximise their recycling efficiency and ultimately supporting the European Circular Economy Agenda and UN Sustainable Development Goals.
