REE4EU - focus on recycling of rare earth metals within EU

Today, the rare earth metals in your computer, smartphone and other products are not recycled. REE4EU is looking for new sustainable recycling solutions. REE4EU is a project financed by the EU Commission via Horizon 2020. Today, rare earth metals such as neodymium and dysprosium in your computer, smartphone and other products are not recycled. But they will be needed to build the electronics you will want tomorrow. Old smartphones and other small electronic devices are typically put away in dresser drawers, or even worse, thrown out with the trash and incinerated, and when that happens the metals are gone for good. The EU has issued a warning that the short supply of rare metals can affect the industry and even hinder the development of new, green technologies. REE4EU is focused on implementation, pilot plants and commercial solutions. Companies, academia and recycling companies are all involved in the project consortium. REE4EU homepage: www.ree4eu.eu
