Relight is a private company founded in 1999 for the collection and treatment of electrical and electronic equipment waste (WEEE). Relight developed an innovative process for the recovery of base and precious metals from Waste of Electric and Electronic Equipment by a hydrometallurgical process, in particular recovering rare earths from the powders produced by the treatment of spent lamps and cathode ray tubes. Aim of Relight solution is to switch the current exclusive manual sorting of spent lamps into an automatic sorting (lift tipping device) planned to overturn spent tubes to be treated in the crush and sieve plant already existing in the company. In this way, a dramatic increase in the yield of treatment will be observed and a rise of the commercial potential of the output fractions in terms of quantity and quality (e.g. concentration, presence of impurities) will be achieved.
