Circular economy through a sustainable recovery technology of critical resources (REEs) from selected waste materials - REECovery

Project summary

REEs recovery from waste resources is necessary due to these elements are established by EU as a critical raw materials. Also searching eco friendly technology for REE extraction is strongly recommended for environment carrying. _x000D_ Project objective is investigation of solid waste from 3 different countries (Poland, Czech Republic and Turkiye) from point of view REEs content in order to elaborate efficiency concept of technology REEs recovery from solid wastes. Therefore, Partners from mentioned countries will be involved. _x000D_ Investigated waste will be i.e. fly ashes, post flotation waste, used PV panels and others. The Partners will choose the most promising waste in country that are rich in REEs content._x000D_ The results obtained elaborate in the project will enable to elaborate full scale technology of REEs recovery from selected waste. _x000D_ Find a new rich in REEs waste and new eco-friendly technology of REEs recovery will have an impact on sustainable development & CE trends recommended by EU
