Critical Metals for Future Sustainable Technologies and their
Recycling Potential
The focus of this study
lies on future sustainable
technologies (FST), such
as renewable energies
and energy efficient
technologies, which will
make use of indium (In),
germanium (Ge), tantalum
(Ta), PGM [platinum group
metals, such as ruthenium
(Ru), platinum (Pt) and
palladium (Pd)], tellurium
(Te), cobalt (Co), lithium
(Li), gallium (Ga) and RE
(rare earths).
These are also
classified as ‘green minor
metals’, which are the basis
for cleaner technology
innovation and therefore an
issue for recycling.
