ITO target recycling Closed loop recycling of indium in Providence (US) • Spent ITO targets have a high value, which drives recycling • Umicore combines production of indium and ITO targets with recycling of spent targets, all in-house • Old target can easily be swapped for new target via regional centers in US, Taiwan and Liechtenstein • Indium (as ITO target) quickly enters the life cycle again Efficient material usage and a closed material loop Dealing with complexity in developing new recycling technologies 24 International Minor Metals Conference 2011 Kris Van den Broeck
CIGS production scrap recycling New process in Hoboken (BE) [capacity 50 t/y] • Umicore has closed the cycle for production wastes from sputtering and evaporation chambers • Convert hazardous waste into valuable materials • Cu, In, Ga and Se are recovered for use in the PV or other industries • Business model: • Customer pays a treatment charge for the recycling service • Metals return is based on sampling and assaying of the production scrap • The customer may remain owner of the metals, so no impact of price fluctuations • Assistance with waste shipments etc. can be provided Dealing with complexity in developing new recycling technologies 25 International Minor Metals Conference 2011 Kris Van den Broeck

New process in Hoboken (BE) [capacity 50 t/y]<br />
• <strong>Umicore</strong> has closed the cycle for production wastes<br />
from sputtering and evaporation chambers<br />
• Convert hazardous waste into valuable materials<br />
• Cu, In, Ga and Se are recovered for use in the PV or<br />
other industries<br />
• Business model:<br />
• Customer pays a treatment charge for the recycling service<br />
• <strong>Metals</strong> return is based on sampling and assaying of the<br />
production scrap<br />
• The customer may remain owner of the metals, so no<br />
impact of price fluctuations<br />
• Assistance with waste shipments etc. can be provided<br />
