Abstract
It is urgent to create alternatives to virgin ore mining and make digitalization more sustainable by following circular economy principles (Burlakovs et al., 2018). Urban mining is such a practice (Izatt et al., 2014; Tunsu et al., 2015), supporting Circular Economy (C.E.) principles while being more costeffective than market value (Ghisellini et al., 2016). This study formulates a comprehensive experimental and literature inventory of end-of-life, residual wastes, and sediments in the urban environment with dilute REE concentrations and evaluate them for potential resource recovery. We selected 10 residual waste materials to identify their content in REE and potential to extract those REE.
