Although the demand and the justification for change are both evident, current analytical techniques are creating a bottleneck and impeding organizations as they take the first tentative steps. If recovery is too difficult or expensive then compa- nies will be forced to take the seemingly easier route toward REE ore extraction, and the mountain of e-waste will con- tinue to grow. Laboratories adopting advanced ICP-OES techniques for the detection and analysis of REEs can now deliver a more robust, high throughput and cost-effective service. By providing high-sensitivity results, with a large linear dynamic range, in a faster time frame, at a lower cost, laboratories are in a position to support the electron- ics industry’s move toward a more sus- tainable future. The rising demand for REEs needs to be met in a more sustain- able way; adopting quicker and more cost-effective analytical techniques for e-waste and environmental monitoring is one big step on that journey. ~AM&P For more information: Sukanya Sen- gupta, product specialist ICP-OES & GIRMS, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Han- na-Kunath Str. 11, 28199 Bremen, Germany, +49.0.421.5493.528, sukan- ya.sengupta@thermofisher.com, www. thermofisher.com/tea.
