Webinar: Critical Material Recovery from Waste: Trends, Technologies, and 20-Year Growth Outlook
Presenter: Dr Jack Howley, Senior Technology Analyst, IDTechEx
Date: Thursday 6th November 2025
As surging demand and growing supply uncertainty casts critical materials into the spotlight, a strong market pull is emerging for the development of new critical material sources.
2025 has been a turbulent year for critical materials and supply chains globally, but is translating into clear growth opportunities for critical material recovery from waste.
This webinar draws on research from the new IDTechEx report on the topic, "Critical Material Recovery 2026-2046: Technologies, Markets, Players", which forecasts that US$66.7B of critical material value will be recovered annually from waste and secondary sources by 2046.
Choose your preferred time zone - the webinar runs three times during the day.
Discussion highlights include:
• The rise of critical materials and market developments in 2025.
• Emerging role of critical material recycling in addressing global supply challenges.
• Critical material recovery market breakdown and evaluation of emerging technologies and business models.
• Key growth opportunities in critical rare earth and lithium-ion battery recycling.
• Critical material recovery market growth outlook and 20-year market forecast.
