Critical Metals at Scale: Industrial Pathways to Recovering Tech Metals
Securing resilient European supply of cobalt, gallium, rare earths and other critical metals requires industrially viable recovery from heterogeneous complex waste streams. This panel examines technologies and innovative approaches that convert complex electronic feedstocks into specification‑grade materials and intermediates, ready for downstream metallurgy and manufacturing. We explore how startup innovation links with established metal and CRM value chains to improve yields, quality, and economics, and discuss how policy (e.g., CRMA targets) catalyzes investment and offtake.
