REEcover

REEcover

REEcover was born in 2023 in a research lab at ETH Zurich.  At REEcover, we take advantage of a unique patented technology which allows us to recover these elements from electronic waste. Our first proof of concept concerns the recycling of Europium and Yttrium from energy saving lamps, with a separation factor 10 times superior to existing technologies. We want to take advantage of the well-established recycling scheme to decrease this dependance on minerals which are mined thousands of kilometers away. We are currently developing our process to scale up the recycling and extend it to different REEs, such as Neodymium and Dysprosium which are found in magnets, while keeping as our north star sustainability and circularity.
