#EUGreenWeek workshop takeaway: Technology for circular economy exists. The market doesn't — yet.
➡️Europe needs a real Single Market for secondary materials.
➡️The #CircularEconomyAct is a real opportunity to fix that.

The EU wants to reinforce the EU's supply of critical raw materials for key industrial sectors.
The updated critical raw material act will ensure a competitive, sustainable and resilient future for EU industry.

"Circularity is security" is the message that came out of the European Circular Economy Stakeholder Platform.
Circularity is no longer just an environmental imperative, but linked with Europe's security.

Tonnes of #CriticalRawMaterials inside #ELVs and #WEEE are lost to landfills each year, foregoing billions in value.
Ferimet clearly recognises this challenge.
In the 3rd pilot case, FERIMET will enhance recovery of CRMs from stream of metal scraps.
Irene García (CELSA) explains.

Manual dismantling of consumer electronics to recover #CriticalRawMaterials pose health & environmental risks.
To address these challenges, our validation scenarios 2, 3 & 4 will be tested at EKAN facility in Greece.

In the magnet world, one rare earth packs a punch: #neodymium. Many high-power, efficient #EVs rely on neodymium PM motors—but this performance comes with environmental risks.
iBot4CRMs tackles this by using #robotics to recover magnets from ELVs.

#CriticalRawMaterials are vital for sustainable tech, yet EU remains dependent on a limited number of distant suppliers.
Last year iBot4CRMs consortium met in Athens to discuss practical steps to recover CRMs for a self-sustaining EU.

China's new restrictions on rare earth exports could have consequences on global supply chain, particularly for EU.
What might China's restrictions mean for EU & how is iBot4CRMs supporting EU's capacity to recover and recycle Critical Raw Materials?
