Funds one coordination project, worth EUR 4 million, to build the EU's knowledge base on secondary raw materials such as waste batteries and WEEE.

ClosedEuropean CommissionEU

This coordination action sits under the same wide call, HORIZON-CL4-2026-01 'INDUSTRY,' whose unusual eligibility list here traces to the Critical Raw Materials Act, Regulation (EU) 2024/1252: participation is limited to the specific country groups named in the call, including OECD, African Union, MERCOSUR, CARIFORUM and Andean Community members, plus countries with an EU raw-materials strategic p…

The Commission wants a Coordination and Support Action that collects and standardises data on secondary raw materials — waste batteries, WEEE, mining waste, slags, ashes and construction waste — across the EU and countries it trades with. The action should propose a classification system and EU statistics for these materials, including their biodiversity footprint.
