Recycling Innovations to Transform Electronic Waste into Green Metals

实现主权能力和电气化目标所需的基本材料严重短缺，但却被丢弃在堆积如山的电子废物中。这个绿色金属项目旨在开发可扩展的技术，从复杂的废物中回收有价值的金属，并在当地和地区部署。该提案的意义在于，它直接解决了围绕减少浪费、促进回收、创造先进制造能力的关键国家优先事项。预计结果是回收未来产品所需的金属、可扩展的微回收解决方案和新材料供应链。显著的好处包括新的工作和技能，减少浪费，先进的能力，新的商业机会和市场。

Essential materials needed to achieve sovereign capability and electrification goals are in critical short supply yet are being discarded in mountains of electronic waste. This Green Metals project aims to develop scalable technology to recover valuable metals from complex wastes, to be deployed locally and regionally. The significance of the proposal is it directly addresses key national priorities around reducing waste, boosting recycling, creating advanced manufacturing capability. Outcomes expected are recovering metals needed for future products, scalable microrecycling solutions and new materials supply chains. Significant benefits include new jobs and skills, reduced waste, advanced capability, new business opportunities and markets.
