2025: Launch of Rare Earth Metal Recovery Line from Electronic Waste
In April 2025, Industrial Metal Recycling Technologies LLC launched a pilot industrial site in the Samara Region for the extraction of rare earth metals from waste from the production of magnets and recycled electronic scrap. The project is aimed at providing Russian enterprises of the radio-electronic industry with the necessary resources obtained from environmentally friendly sources.
According to the government of the Samara region, the technology for the extraction of rare-earth metals developed by Russian scientists is a unique solution, protected by patents and unparalleled at the world level. The effectiveness of the technology has already been proven: it is possible to extract more than 95% of valuable metals. The enterprise team set a goal to increase this figure to 99.5% by the end of the current quarter.
The Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade Russia Vasily Shpak noted: "The technology developed by Samara specialists can significantly reduce the dependence of domestic industry on imports of rare earth metals, while forming a solid foundation for increasing the level of self-sufficiency with critical resources. This solution opens up additional opportunities for the sustainable growth of high-tech industries, contributing to the diversification of production potential and strengthening competitive positions in the global market. "
The Governor of the Samara Region, Chairman of the Commission of the State Council of Russia in the direction of "Industry" Vyacheslav Fedorishchev stressed the interest of the region in the implementation of the project. According to him, this unique and high-tech solution is of strategic importance not only for the region, but also for the technological sovereignty of Russia as a whole. Regional authorities plan to actively support the project, which will speed up the development of the initiative and strengthen the position of the Samara region.[1]
