Metal Recovery Market
The effective recovery of valuable metals is an important step in the economic viability of recycling e-waste.
It is estimated that e-waste globally contains around £56bn raw materials such as gold, palladium, silver and copper. However, only 17% of global e – waste is reported as being effectively recycled each year.
‘Urban mining’ is an extremely important process as the world looks to more sustainable resource options whilst also harvesting valuable metals from secondary materials such as e – waste.
Metal Recovery Challenges
By nature, e-waste recycling is a complex process which requires specialist equipment and advanced separation technology. Although metal recovery from recycled waste is a costly process, it can also be a lucrative market to tap in to as more businesses opt for a more sustainable approach to their recycling contributions.
