Waste electrical and electronic equipment

What metals can be extracted in what quantities in a city today and in the future? This is the prerequisite for “Urban Mining”: We need to know which resources are present in households, buildings, or infrastructure. Only then can we make these resources available to the economy again when their use comes to an end. The aim of “Urban Mining” is to replace primary raw materials, saving not just valuable resources but usually also energy. This can also help avoid greenhouse gas emissions, especially during raw material extraction.
