Happy Global Recycling Day! 🌍♻️ #AurubisOlen #Aurubis #MetalsforProgress #TomorrowMetals #circulaireeconomie #globalrecyclingday #duurzaamheid #metaalrecyclage
Did you know that printed circuit boards (PCBs) contain a wealth of valuable metals? From gold and silver to copper and palladium, these tiny components are packed with resources that can be efficiently recovered and reused. At Aurubis, we unlock the full potential of metal recycling — not just from PCBs, but from a wide variety of sources. By keeping metals in the loop, we conserve natural resources and significantly cut CO₂ emissions. This is how we contribute to a circular economy and a more sustainable future. Our impact in numbers: ✅ In 2023/24, we processed around 1 million tons of recycling material in copper production. ✅ Our goal: Up to 50% recycled material in production by 2030. ✅ We continuously invest in advanced recycling technologies to recover strategic metals more efficiently. With our dedicated recycling sites Aurubis Lünen, Aurubis Olen, and Aurubis Beerse, we handle metals of varying complexity — driving innovation in sustainable recycling. And Aurubis Richmond will become the first multi-metal recycling plant in the US, strengthening North America’s supply of critical metals. This state-of-the-art facility will establish us as pioneers in this field in the US. Join us in celebrating Global Recycling Day — because every recycled metal counts! ♻️ #Aurubis #CircularEconomy #TomorrowMetals #GlobalRecyclingDay #Sustainability #MetalRecycling
