• Design and development of a demonstrative pilot plant with a treatment capacity of 200kg/h of discarded FPDs and a recovering capacity of up to 80% of indium, yttrium and other valuable metals with a purity of 95%.
• Recovery of up to 80% of other valuable metals such as silver contained in some types of FPDs.
• Recovery of up to 70% of other interesting fractions such as iron, aluminum or plastics, recyclable by conventional methods.
• Demonstration of the developed processes by collecting and recycling FPDs from different sectors from areas close to the location of the plant.
• Reduction of the European dependence on rare earths (RE) and other critical metals mainly from China in order to satisfy the defined requirements established in the European Communication of the 2^nd February 2011 concerning imports of RE.
• Contribution to European Directive 2012/19/UE, which establishes a framework for reducing environmental wastes and recycling electronic devices.
• Re-use of the recovered indium, yttrium and other valuable metals such as silver as high added value products for different applications.
