Design-Deconstruction-Recycling for Retained Metal Value
What does an effective policy look like at national and EU level to promote improved conservation of constituent elements and avoidance of pollution in the cycle of metallic materials? and what kinds of standards are needed to support such a policy?
The project will provide increased knowledge about how the design and choice of materials in a product, as well as the information given about the product to the recycler, affect how much of the included metal’s value, both economically and environmentally, can be carried over into the next product life cycle given a recycling system that uses new technology for optimal sorting and processing.
