Recycling Technologies for Minerals Supply Resilience and National Security

This topic aims to develop and implement recycling and environmental technology strategies that mitigate urgent supply risks and strengthen the availability of critical minerals essential to clean energy, electronics, defense, and other high-tech sectors. We encourage contributions that advance the science and engineering of recovery technologies for critical minerals from primary, secondary, and unconventional sources. Particular emphasis is placed on the development of decentralized recycling infrastructure, rapid response capabilities, sensor systems, closed-loop processes, and adaptive technologies that minimize reliance on imported raw materials. This topic aims to provide a platform for scalable, sustainable, and secure recycling technologies.
