Meet the RETURN team, comprising over 30 specialists from nine companies who are working together to shape the future of e-waste recycling. What questions do you have for us? We will be launching a Q&A series soon. #ewaste #euhorizon #recycling #greentech

The EU Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA) sets out an ambitious goal for Europe. RETURN is playing a key role in recovering valuable materials from e-waste. Read our latest blog article: return-ewaste.eu/europe-cann….

Precision matters, and AI can help with that. Our AI-driven computer vision systems, developed by UJM, can identify and sort PCB components at an unparalleled speed. Sorting the 'urban mine' requires intelligent systems with high throughput. #urbanmine #ewaste #ai #circularity

Circularity becomes feasible if it's good for the planet and the bottom line. 💰 The RETURN system is designed for low-investment decentralized deployment in existing recycling centers, with very short payback times - a real opportunity #Circularity #Recycling #HorizonEurope

25% of annual CRM consumption should come from recycling by 2030. 🇪🇺 That is the bold target The EU's Critical Raw Materials Act set. RETURN is developing the technology to make that target a reality. More economic, more ecologic and more scalable. #CRMA #CircularEconomy

Data is the missing ingredient for true circularity.🔗 @MinespiderTeam is developing Digital Product Passports to track e-waste from collection and recovery. To learn more about RETURN: return-ewaste.eu #DPP #Blockchain #Traceability #CircularEconomy #EWaste #Minespider

🌍 The problem is real. The interest is real. And so is RETURN. At the CE Conference, the DEScycle team couldn't stop the conversations - feedstock providers, metals users, finance. Everyone is looking for a solution. E-waste is Europe's most wasted resource. #RETURN

Did you know? Every year, $62 billion worth of recoverable materials are lost because they aren't recycled properly. 📉 That's more than the GDP of several EU nations! It's time to unlock the potential of these 'sleeping' resources. #EwasteStats #CRMA #ResourceSecurity

Traditional smelting requires temperatures over 1,300°C 🔥 Our Deep Eutectic Solvents (DES) work at low temperatures, recovering critical metals with drastically lower energy consumption. This is the green chemistry revolution for e-waste. #GreenChemistry #SustainableTech

9 partners. 6 countries. 1 mission. 🌍 Today we launch the official home of the RETURN project - where Deep Eutectic Solvents, AI-driven sorting, DPP, and more innovations come together to close the e-waste loop. Visit us: return-ewaste.eu/ #CriticalRawMaterials

The world produces 62 million tonnes of e-waste annually - and it’s growing 5x faster than our ability to recycle it. 🌍 The RETURN project is here to close the loop. We are mining e-waste for CRMs and precious metals to build Europe’s digital resource. #RETURNProject
