Recovering precious and critical/strategic metals from electronics is not just an environmental necessity—it is a strategic opportunity for resource security and sustainable manufacturing. As the EU advances its circular economy and critical raw materials policies, industry leaders must adopt data-driven approaches to assess End-of-Life (EoL) strategies and optimize material recovery. This presentation highlights the role of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) in evaluating the environmental trade-offs and credits of precious metal recovery. By integrating LCA with key performance indicators and circular economy principles, companies can make informed decisions on feedstock recovery while aligning with evolving EU regulatory frameworks. In collaboration with EITM and Sphera, we will bridge the gap between technical expertise and policy, demonstrating how LCA methodologies support sustainable value chains. Through real-world applications, we will explore how businesses can leverage LCA-driven insights to enhance resource efficiency, reduce emissions, and secure a resilient supply of critical materials for manufacturing.
