Proposals under the call on Advanced recovery of critical raw materials from Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) must look at ways to improve collection, sorting and recycling technologies, reduce the need for primary raw material extraction and minimise waste, and deliver cheaper, good quality secondary strategic raw materials.

They must develop new and/or improve existing scalable processes and technologies to efficiently collect, sort, recover and recycle strategic and critical raw materials from electrical and electronic equipment waste, and develop standards, technologies and processes that demonstrate how to ensure the quality, cost and safety of recycled strategic and critical raw materials with a view to an economically viable and sustainable waste market.

Activities are expected to achieve TRL 4-5 by the end of the project.
