https://www.taxtmi.com/article/detailed?id=13889 Recovery of rare earths from e-waste is essential to shift from a linear model to a circular economy by reducing reliance on environmentally harmful extraction and securing supply for high tech applications. Major barriers include device complexity, limited collection and recycling infrastructure, economic and technological constraints on scalable recovery methods, and the environmental and health risks of informal recycling. Policy and design responses-such as design for longevity, repair and disassembly, and Extended Producer Responsibility-combined with technical advances like hydrometallurgical extraction, biotechnological leaching, and robotic disassembly, are presented as the mechanisms required to close material loops and enable sustainable rare earth recovery. en-us Mon, 24 Mar 2025 08:45:27 +0530 Mon, 24 Mar 2025 08:45:27 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/article/detailed?id=13889 Recovery of rare earths from e-waste is essential to shift from a linear model to a circular economy by reducing reliance on environmentally harmful extraction and securing supply for high tech applications.
