Discover how Chemycal PRO helps you boosting your regulatory monitoring:
Modern electronics can contain up to 60 different chemicals elements including base metals such as copper (Cu) and tin (Sn), special metals such as cobalt (Co), indium (In) and antimony (Sb), and precious metals like silver (Ag), gold (Au) and palladium (Pd). Although some chemicals present in electronic components are hazardous, many have economic value. This makes e-waste a tradable commodity and a source for job creation and poverty reduction in Africa. The market potential of products from innovative recycling technologies is important.
