The overall objective of BIORECOVER is the research and development of a new sustainable and safe process, essentially biotechnology-based, for selective extraction from secondary materials of a wide range of Critical Raw Materials. It involves a multidisciplinary consortium spanning the entire value chain. BIORECOVER will produce a versatile and flexible solution applicable under various conditions, achieving high recovery yields, selectivity, purity, and sustainable from an environmental, energy and cost perspective.
