BIORECOVER Development of an innovative sustainable strategy for the selective biorecovery of critical raw materials from primary and secondary sources VIEW SCOPE

BIORECOVER is a 48-month Horizon 2020 project whose main objective is to research and develop a new sustainable and safe biotechnological process for the selective extraction of a wide range of Critical Raw Materials (CRMs).

WHY RECOVERING RAW MATERIALS ?

The EU is highly dependant on raw materials that are essential for its growth and competitiveness, as well as for the transition toward a greener Europe.

Thus, unlocking unexploited ore reserves offers a great potential to reduce the dependency of the EU on CRMs importantions.

More about CRMs' importance

​HOW WILL BIORECOVER ADVANCE THE STATE OF THE ART ?

The EU-funded BIORECOVER project aims to develop a new sustainable and safe process based on biotechnology for the selective extraction of a range of CRMs from unexploited primary and secondary sources.

  • Generate know-how through patents and publications
  • Select and integrate the best technologies.
  • Study the downstream processes.
  • Valorise the by-products and wastes generated.
