Metium - IRET - Inštitút recyklačných a environmentálnych technológií

Anotácia: METIUM builds the first EU interregional innovation ecosystem by scaling four cross-border Strategic Raw Materials (SRM) value chains. By deploying cutting-edge hydrometallurgical technologies as a reliable alternative to pyrometallurgy, the project focuses on the recovery of Li-ion battery materials, Platinum Group Metals, Rare Earth Elements, and Copper/Aluminium  waste. The project aims to demonstrate efficient interregional processing of 3,200 kg of waste products to recover up to 11 different SRMs. The project aims to demonstrate efficient interregional processing of 3,200 kg of waste products to recover up to 11 different SRMs. Through this collaboration, METIUM strengthens Europe's open strategic autonomy by reducing dependence on external suppliers of critical materials. Furthermore, the project fosters regional development by connecting less developed regions with innovation hubs, effectively turning industrial waste into valuable resources for a green and circular economy.

Konzorcium: The METIUM consortium consists of 19 partners from 8 European regions (Poland, Slovakia, Finland, Portugal, Lithuania, Greece, Spain, Slovenia, and Italy), led by the Koordinátor: Lukasiewicz – Instytut Metali Niezelaznych (Poland).
