Everything can be recycled, cost the only limit

The present transition towards a more sustainable society requires elements and materials that neither are mined or recycled in EU.

Indium in flat screens, neodymium in strong magnets and lithium in batteries are a few examples. There are several techniques to obtain recycled materials with various purity, even like virgin material. These techniques include hydrochemistry, pyro chemistry and super critical fluids.

All these techniques are used at Chalmers University of Technology and have pros and cos, which we will discuss. on the webinar​.
