Project description
AI and robotics-based solution for e-waste recycling
The amount of discarded electronic devices, like computer monitors, mobile phones and televisions, is rapidly growing. Fortunately, if e-waste is recycled correctly, it can yield critical raw materials (CRMs) and other valuable commodities. The EU-funded FPD Recycling project proposes the CircularPro, a deep tech solution that incorporates intelligent automation and robust AI technologies to revolutionise the flat panel display recycling industry and beyond. This first-of-its-kind, holistic innovation is available on a ‘Technology-as-a-Service’ model, promoting the recovery and reuse of CRMs while reducing emissions and capturing data insights. The CircularPro also manages toxic materials and offers carbon credits based on reduced emissions, making it an eco-friendly and sustainable solution.
Objective
The world is facing a tsunami of e-waste. In 2019, 7m tonnes of screens and monitors were disposed of (UN), equivalent to 3bn of valuable commodities including CRMs if recycled properly. FPD Recycling, led by an experienced team of innovators, offers the CircularPro- a deep tech solution with intelligent automation and robust AI technologies to disrupt the Flat Panel Display (FPD) recycling industry and beyond. It will capture both reuasable components and CRMs for onward remanufacturing, while managing toxic materials. CircularPro promotes CRM recovery and reuse by certifying carbon credits based on reduced emissions and capturing data insights. Our innovation is a first-to-market holistic solution, creating a circular economy for FPDs and recyclers. We offer CircularPro on a Technology-as-a-Service model, realizing new and sustainable income streams for recyclers. Its time to look at e-waste as a source of valuable materials and to capture its circularity with CircularPro.
