Partners
A diverse consortium of 19 partners working together to transform waste into valuable resources.
Connecting Expertise. Creating Impact.
Launched in 2025, METIUM is a 36-month European project focused on building Europe’s first interregional Urban Mining ecosystem. The consortium is formed by an EU-wide interdisciplinary and complementary team, encompassing 19 partners from across Europe.
By bringing together expertise in research, industry, recycling, engineering, and innovation, METIUM develops and scales Urban Mining value chains that transform urban waste into valuable Strategic Raw Materials. Through advanced hydrometallurgical technologies, cross-border collaboration and industrial validation, the project supports Europe’s transition towards a circular, resilient and resource-independent future.
