CIRCUIT4EU launches stakeholder survey on critical raw materials recovery from electronic waste

CIRCUIT4EU, a new four-year Horizon Europe-funded project, has launched a stakeholder survey to identify the main barriers, bottlenecks and opportunities for improving the recovery and reuse of Critical Raw Materials (CRMs) from electrical and electronic equipment (EEE).

Coordinated by Marta Yuste at the WEEE Forum, the project focuses on recovering and reusing CRMs from printed circuit boards, permanent magnets and electronic components found in four products: laptops, e-scooters, dishwashers and Wi-Fi routers.

The survey is open until 30 November 2026 and welcomes contributions from stakeholders across the EEE/WEEE value chain. The findings will help identify key challenges and enablers for advancing circular material flows in Europe.

Take part in the stakeholder survey

Early results will be shared with survey respondents and members of the CIRCUIT4EU stakeholder network.
