“RECYCLE REES AT SCHOOL”

Recycling e-waste is seen as a sustainable alternative to compensate for the limited natural rare earth elements (REEs) resources and the difficulty of accessing these resources. Recycling facilitates the recovery of valuable products and minimizes emissions during their transportation. Numerous studies have been reported on e-waste recycling using various techniques, including thermo-, hydro- and biometallurgical approaches. However, each approach still has technical, economic, social, or environmental limitations. This review highlights the potential of recycling e-waste, including outlining the current unutilized potential of REE recycling from different e-waste components. Our school  also thanks to the Erasmus project OUR SUSTAINABILITY AND ECO-SCHOOL ADVENTURE WITH GREENWEB GAMES” IT02-KA210-SCH-000243956  has participated in a conference provided by the townhall about the REEs waste on the 23rd of March 2025.
