Recycling of rare earths: a critical review
Koen Binnemans,Peter Tom Jones,Bart Blanpain,Tom Van Gerven,Yongxiang Yang,Allan Walton,Matthias Buchert +6 more
TL;DR: The state of the art in preprocessing of End-of-life materials containing rare-earth elements (REEs) and the final recovery is discussed in detail in this article, where the relevance of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) for REE recycling is emphasized.

Towards circular economy implementation: a comprehensive review in context of manufacturing industry
Michael Lieder,Amir Rashid +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a comprehensive review of research efforts encompassing aspects of resources scarcity, waste generation and economic advantages; explore the CE landscape in the context of these three aspects especially when they are considered simultaneously; based on an idea of a comprehensive CE framework, propose an implementation strategy using top-down and bottom-up approach in a concurrent manner.

The circular economy: New or Refurbished as CE 3.0? — Exploring Controversies in the Conceptualization of the Circular Economy through a Focus on History and Resource Value Retention Options
TL;DR: In this article, the authors take a focus on the historical development of the concept of circular economy and value retention options (ROs) for products and materials aiming for increased circularity and conclude that policymakers and businesses should focus their efforts on realization of the more desirable, shorter loop retention options, like remanufacturing, refurbishing and repurposing, yet with a view on feasibility and overall system effects.

Lost in Transition? Drivers and Barriers in the Eco-innovation Road to the Circular Economy
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on the eco-innovation pathway towards a circular economy, and try to coordinate available but fragmented findings regarding how "transformative innovation" can foster this transition while removing obstacles to sustainability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Towards zero-waste valorisation of rare-earth-containing industrial process residues: a critical review
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the possibilities to recover rare earths from industrial waste streams, which contain only low concentrations of rare-earth elements, but are available in very large volumes and could provide significant amounts of rare Earths.

The crucial role of Waste-to-Energy technologies in enhanced landfill mining: a technology review
TL;DR: The potential and suitability of these thermochemical technologies for enhanced waste management (EWM) and enhanced landfill mining (ELFM) applications are discussed in this article, with a focus on municipal solid waste (MSW), possibly processed into refuse derived fuel (RDF).

Landfill mining: a critical review of two decades of research.
TL;DR: A literature review on landfill mining covering a meta-analysis of the main trends, objectives, topics and findings in 39 research papers published during the period 1988-2008 shows that, so far, landfill mining has primarily been seen as a way to solve traditional management issues related to landfills such as lack of landfill space and local pollution concerns.

Characterization of landfilled materials: screening of the enhanced landfill mining potential
Mieke Quaghebeur,Ben Laenen,Daneel Geysen,Peter Nielsen,Yiannis Pontikes,Tom Van Gerven,Jeroen Spooren +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assess the valorization options for the materials stored at the REMO site in Houthalen (Belgium) based on excavation tests done at locations containing either municipal solid waste (MSW) or industrial waste (IW).
