ICT components worth up to €430,000 per tonne. In high-tech radar systems, ICT and monitoring components represent a value of up to €430,125 per tonne, many times higher than the material value. The manufacturing study for Overijssel by New Economy (2020) reports this for radar systems. In high-tech radar systems most value sits in components, which is lost in recycling.
Component retention and life extension keep the value of radar systems intact. This is relevant for manufacturers of high-tech systems, OEMs and organisations in circular electronics.
