4 Sept | Electronics Scrap Recycling Advancement Prize

DOE

The prize aims to stimulate innovative approaches that reduce the costs and environmental impact of critical material recovery from electronic scrap (e-scrap). In this first phase, competitors will propose solutions that substantially increase the amount of recovered critical materials from e-scrap used in U.S. manufacturing. Up to 10 winners will receive $50,000 in cash and $30,000 in national laboratory analysis support. Individuals can apply (you will receive the award directly; you will be responsible for the application, paying taxes, and cannot use CU Denver facilities for the work), or faculty can apply through CU Denver to support ongoing research (30% IDC will apply).
