The international workshop e-mobility and circular economy, which has been jointly organized by tu bergakademie freiberg, helmholtz institute freiberg for resource technology and tu clausthal, was held in 2018. The conference was dedicated to key technological and economical questions which arise in the recycling of materials commonly used in e-mobility and electronics. It was aimed both at presenting new solutions for mechanical and metallurgic recycling and the substitution of conventional engineering materials. As there is an increasing need for rare chemical species in the generation of certain electronic, electrical, and mechanical properties in e-mobility and electronics, there was an additional focus on trace elements.
