Norwegian research project recycles rare metals

Norway is investing in green technology, but what happens when important materials are imported from countries such as South Africa, China and Russia? In the innovation project RecirkIrRu, researchers have worked with groundbreaking technology to recover iridium and ruthenium. The result is less need for mining, increased competitiveness for Norwegian industry and sustainable recycling of metals that are important for the green shift.
