This webpage will provide an overview of all the projects funded within the same call with SOLMATE: HORIZON-CL4-2023-RESILIENCE-01-05 (Recycling technologies for critical raw materials from EoL products (IA)).
RESQTOOL Recycling of High Quality CRM Resources from Machining Tools for Re-use Applications
Recycling of High Quality Critical Raw Materials (CRM) Resources from Machining Tools for Re-use Applications RESQTOOL will offer a sustainable and energy efficient solution for recycling and responsible supply of CRMs(Co, W, Ta, Ti, Nb) from end-of-life (EoL) products in Hard Metal industries of metal/wood cutting, construction and tool manufacturing by lowering the carbon footprint and energy consumption of Zinc reclaim process and developing advanced hydro- and solvo-metallurgical bio-chemical recycling based on agro-industrial waste.

AutoMat Compliant and fully AUToMATed circular solutions for multiple battery and battery embedded device enhanced by digital solutions
The increasing need to find alternative energy sources, combined with the general urgency to decarbonise the way we produce, store and consume in order to meet the EU’s climate and sustainability targets, is stimulating a massive and rapid use of critical raw materials, which are fundamental to the production of electrical and electronic equipment and batteries, pillars of the green and digital transition that the EU is called upon to achieve. The challenges are increasingly important given the rapidly changing geopolitical environment

CRUSADE Recycling technologies for ELV components to create a sustainable source of market grade materials for EU applications
CRUSADE upscales novel technologies to TRL7 integrated in a universal hydrometallurgical method to recycle up to 500 tn/year of spent automotive components (autocatalysts, fuel cells, batteries and printed circuit boards) from end-of-life vehicles and recover ca 40 tn/year of critical raw materials (Cu, C, Co, Mn, Ni, Pt, Pd, Rh, Li, Ru) at commercial specifications. The project leverages predeveloped technologies to establish a market ready pilot unit utilising novel concepts for material tracing using blockchain (AKO, SAISLAB, ENTE) and pan European collection network establishment from the pioneers of the automotive components manufacturers (SUN, ADV, CRF, MONO, ACU) which guarantee the long term sustainable operation of the unit.

FORESi FOstering a Recycled European Silicon supply
The project FORESi aims at FOstering a Recycled European Silicon supply. through the first worldwide industrial demonstration of a cradle-to-cradle Silicon value chain. To contribute to a sustainable energy sovereignty for Europe, FORESi will demonstrate a circular recycling process from end-of-life PV panels towards new photovoltaics and EV batteries applications. The project will demonstrate the technical, economic and environmental viability of the entire recycling process, and deliver the design of an optimised recycling turnkey factory of end-of-life PV panels, paving the way for a European industrial mass production of recycled Silicon.
FORESi will also develop an online integrated platform for recovery of PV panels, and deliver a PV Testing Methodology to Reuse and Repair EoL PV modules.
