Innovative Recycling Solutions form NRW – Important Enablers for Securing the Supply of Critical Raw Materials

Improving the recycling rate of critical raw materials is one target set by the EU’s Critical Raw Materials Act. The Green Economy Network.NRW has therefore identified 17 raw materials that are particularly critical for the land North Rhine-Westfalia, including silicon and silicon compounds. These are essential for PV modules or semiconductors, for example. At the Circular Valley Convention, the Green Economy Network.NRW will be presenting and discussing with highly innovative recyclers from NRW who have succeeded in recycling silicon (compounds) on an industrial scale, thus securing a sustainable supply of critical raw materials.
