The Conversation publishes extended findings showing that recovered e-waste gallium alone could reduce EU import dependency by 40%, and that tantalum, magnesium, and tungsten recovery could meet 23%, 12%, and 12% of EU demand respectively. The researchers provide an interactive dashboard mapping metal content across 54 device categories to guide collection and recycling priorities.
