EU-funded projects FIRFELY and PEACOC are organising the Cluster session “Efficient recovery processes of Precious Metals from European and-of-life resources with novel technologies”.

Hosted within the Going Green Care Innovation 2023 (in Vienna, Austria from 9th to 11th of May), the workshop will feature four EU-funded projects which will present their approaches for recycling precious metals (PGMs, Au, Ag) from different streams using economically and environmentally friendly technological solutions.
