Eu-funded PEACOC project recently celebrated one year after its launch. The progress achieved so far was collected and compiled in the 2nd newsletter of the project. PEACOC will be developed at semi-commercial pilot scale (TRL7). The project is targeting the recovery of important Precious Metals (PMs), such as palladium (Pd), platinum (Pt), rhodium (Rh), silver (Ag) and gold (Au) from end-of-life (EoL) residues that currently are poorly valorised in Europe. These elements are necessary to guarantee the technological and sustainable future of Europe.
