RETURN - Mining e-waste for precious metals

RETURN recovers and recycles electronic parts for critical raw materials (CRM) and precious metals from e-waste.

@iRowow @Univ_St_Etienne Very well said! That is precisely why RETURN is working on the entire process. It might be worth checking out the following link: https://t.co/RyvOxOPGxz.

Precision matters, and AI can help with that.

Our AI-driven computer vision systems, developed by UJM, can identify and sort PCB components at an unparalleled speed.

Sorting the 'urban mine' requires intelligent systems with high throughput.

The EU Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA) sets out an ambitious goal for Europe. RETURN is playing a key role in recovering valuable materials from e-waste.

Circularity becomes feasible if it's good for the planet and the bottom line. 💰

The RETURN system is designed for low-investment decentralized deployment in existing recycling centers, with very short payback times - a real opportunity

25% of annual CRM consumption should come from recycling by 2030. 🇪🇺

That is the bold target The EU's Critical Raw Materials Act set.

RETURN is developing the technology to make that target a reality.

More economic, more ecologic and more scalable.

Data is the missing ingredient for true circularity.🔗

@MinespiderTeam is developing Digital Product Passports to track e-waste from collection and recovery.

🌍 The problem is real. The interest is real. And so is RETURN.

At the CE Conference, the DEScycle team couldn't stop the conversations - feedstock providers, metals users, finance. Everyone is looking for a solution.

E-waste is Europe's most wasted resource.

Did you know?

Every year, $62 billion worth of recoverable materials are lost because they aren't recycled properly. 📉

That's more than the GDP of several EU nations!

It's time to unlock the potential of these 'sleeping' resources.

Traditional smelting requires temperatures over 1,300°C 🔥

Our Deep Eutectic Solvents (DES) work at low temperatures, recovering critical metals with drastically lower energy consumption.

This is the green chemistry revolution for e-waste.

9 partners. 6 countries. 1 mission. 🌍

Today we launch the official home of the RETURN project - where Deep Eutectic Solvents, AI-driven sorting, DPP, and more innovations come together to close the e-waste loop.

The world produces 62 million tonnes of e-waste annually - and it’s growing 5x faster than our ability to recycle it.

🌍 The RETURN project is here to close the loop.

We are mining e-waste for CRMs and precious metals to build Europe’s digital resource.
