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).
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.
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.
On 27th February 2024, the BIORECOVER Final Event convened in Brussels, adopting a hybrid format that blended in-person discussions with online accessibility. The event served as a beacon, drawing together
The BIORECOVER project involves a multidisciplinary consortium that encompasses the whole value chain from suppliers (MAGNA, UWITS, JM, & MYTILINEOS) to end users (FAE, MAGNA, JM), while also involving industries, universities, RTOs and SMEs.
