You may not see us, but our materials are the key ingredients to the technologies that keep us connected every day.

52.5% of our metal‑containing materials input mix comes from secondary sources. This means that over half of the metal‑containing materials we use are not directly mined for this purpose. They are recovered from a range of complex sources, including end‑of‑life products and industrial by‑products, materials that might otherwise be lost as waste.

By bringing these valuable metals into our processes, we help balance growing demand with limited resources. Recovering metals that might otherwise be lost as waste is at the heart of Umicore’s role in and helps limit the pressure on primary extraction.

From cloud computing to artificial intelligence, vast volumes of data and information are continuously processed, stored and transmitted. At the heart of this transformation are data centers. These high-performance facilities power everything from real-time communication to advanced AI models, requiring ever-increasing speed, capacity and reliability. As data demand accelerates, the challenge is to ensure systems remain stable and operational at all times without creating harmful emissions. Our stationary catalysts play a key role.

Edelmetalle sind ein zentraler Kosten- und Nachhaltigkeitstreiber in vielen Beschichtungsprozessen. Umso wichtiger ist es, Edelmetall dort zurückzugewinnen, wo es keinen funktionalen Nutzen mehr hat – z. B. auf Substraten, Ausschussteilen oder Prozesshilfsmitteln.

Strippprozesse ermöglichen genau das: Sie lösen Edelmetallüberzüge gezielt ab – als Grundlage für eine wirtschaftliche Rückgewinnung und für mehr Kreislaufwirtschaft in der Oberflächentechnik.

Precious metals are a key driver of costs and sustainability in many plating processes. This makes it all the more important to recover precious metals from areas where they no longer serve a functional purpose such as substrates, rejects or auxiliary tools.

Stripping processes make exactly that possible: They selectively remove precious metal coatings, laying the groundwork for cost-effective recovery and a more circular economy in surface technology.

Semiconductors power the digital world. They enable the movement of electrical charges, and therefore information, through engineered layers. This is done by depositing ultra‑thin metal films in precise locations so they are able to carry the electrical and thermal signals in devices. As chips become smaller and structures more complex, material quality becomes even more critical. Discover Umicore's role in semiconductors: https://umico.re/q5c

At Umicore, innovation drives us, it's part of our DNA and it’s what keeps us excited every day. We’re looking forward to bringing that energy to this weekend!

Our colleagues will be there as proud ambassadors, ready to share what we do, our innovation, and how we’re shaping the future of materials. Curious about our work? We’d love to meet you!
