• Present and expected future growth of the clean tech & high tech<br />

industry will place strong demand on specific “critical” materials<br />

that leads to a debate on their respective future availability<br />

• Recycling of production scraps (today) and End-of-Life modules<br />

(future) can make significant contributions to ensuring a secure<br />

metals supply<br />

• This recycling potential is found in currently minor applications,<br />

with high CAGR creating future material resources<br />

• <strong>Umicore</strong> operates appropriate technologies for efficient and<br />

environmentally sound recycling of production scraps<br />

• Effective recycling goes beyond technology aspects.<br />

Dealing with complexity in developing<br />
