The Engineering Microbial Metal Recovery (EMMR) consortium brings together a unique group of world-renowned academics to develop an entirely new approach for recovering valuable metals from the expanding supplies of electronic waste (e-waste), that is currently destined for disposal as landfill. Using the tools of genetic engineering, will be fine-tune naturally-occurring bacteria to recognise and accumulate metals including gold and "rare earth elements" that are common in discarded phones and batteries. Gold is one of the most valuable metals lost in e-waste, and the rare earth elements are a limited resource that are required to power our growing green economy (being vital components of electric car batteries, wind turbines and other green energy technologies). Working with industrial partners, we will test our engineered bacteria against real wastes from industry, helping convert the 40 million plus tonne global e-waste problem, to a resource that can help power the global circular economy.

工程微生物金属回收（EMMR）联盟汇集了一群独特的世界知名学者，开发了一种全新的方法，从不断扩大的电子废物（电子废物）中回收有价值的金属，目前这些废物将被填埋处理。利用基因工程的工具，将微调自然产生的细菌，以识别和积累金属，包括金和“稀土元素”，这些金属在废弃的手机和电池中很常见。黄金是电子垃圾中损失的最有价值的金属之一，稀土元素是为我们不断增长的绿色经济提供动力所需的有限资源（是电动汽车电池，风力涡轮机和其他绿色能源技术的重要组成部分）。我们将与工业合作伙伴合作，测试我们的工程菌对工业真实的废物，帮助将4000多万吨的全球电子废物问题转化为可以帮助推动全球循环经济的资源。
