Achieving Europe’s climate-neutral objectives will fundamentally depend on our ability to develop clean energy and mobility solutions in the most sustainable way. But this green transition will generate an exponential growth in demand for raw materials, such as Rare Earth Elements (REEs). – for the production of permanent magnets (PMs).
The external advisory board (EAB) of REEPRODUCE is composed of experienced experts in the project's scope. The role, as an independent body, is to give oversight, validate the project direction and results, and provide feedback.
For many years, issues related to environmental preservation have been close to DISKUS Polska, a manufacturer of innovative devices for data removal and media destruction. DISKUS also provides services implying non-destruction of the devices, which are then sent for disposal. They have a unique opportunity to support the idea of a circular economy in which all waste material is reused.
REVAC is one of the Scandinavians biggest recyclers of WEEE (Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment) having recycling plants in Norway and Sweden. The Norwegian plant is by far the biggest and recycles 70 % of the total post-consumer waste electronics placed on the Norwegian market.
