EDU recycling offers significant economic opportunities! Have you already secured your share?   The scarcity of critical raw materials renders electric drive unit (EDU) recycling not only an environmental imperative but also puts it at the center of economic scrutiny. The dismantling and recycling of a scrap EDU can increase its value potential fifteenfold while concurrently cutting the CO2 emissions of a newly produced EDU by nearly 20%. But how can these potentials be unlocked? Focusing on magnet recycling, the conventional recovery of rare earth metals is currently located in East Asia. However, innovative, and more sustainable recycling approaches offer the potential of a European value chain localization, aligning with the European Union’s stringent environmental standards. Nonetheless, the legislative landscape is shifting and staying ahead means being prepared. E-Waste World Conference & Expo is bringing together leading industry stakeholders to discuss the way forward in the recycling of #ewaste and critical #rawmaterials. Our team can support you in identifying drivers of EDU circularity and developing business strategies that consider future technology trends. Did EDU recycling catch your attention? Get in touch with our experts, Hagen Wegner and Markus Volkening, to take your first step towards developing your position in the EDU recycling value chain and to discuss its feasibility and profitability! #Recycling #EDU #Sustainability #Rawmaterial #Circularity

Last week at Scrap Expo, Dave Klein of Alter Trading moderated a very informative panel on aluminum recycling. Included in the session were Beatriz Landa, Andy McKee, and Matt Meyer. One topic discussed was the low recycling rate of UBC’s in America. One way in which we can increase our UBC recycling rate is by educating our kids. We must educate the next generation on the importance of recycling. Watch this to learn about a couple ways we can accomplish this.
