Global recyclers must adapt to increasingly complex electronic consumer goods

At BIR's Electrics, Electronics, and EV Batteries Committee plenary session, the discussion focused on the role of language when communicating the value of recycled materials. Opportunities and barriers to the recycling of critical raw materials in Europe were discussed. As well, feedback was given on a recovery project involving hard disk drive magnets. An additional presentation assessed the outlook for mineral demand resulting from rapid growth in global sales of electric vehicles.
