📱 Have you ever wondered 𝙝𝙤𝙬 your smartphone, laptop, or car electronics keep running so smoothly — with stable power and clear signals? It’s thanks to 𝙋𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙖𝙙𝙞𝙪𝙢 — a Critical Raw Material hidden inside tiny capacitors (MLCCs) on circuit boards. 𝙋𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙖𝙙𝙞𝙪𝙢 is used in the electrodes of MLCCs, which regulate voltage and filter electrical “noise”. These invisible building blocks are everywhere — in your phone, computer, medical devices, and even in automotive control units — keeping electronics stable, reliable, and long-lasting. While many capacitors now use nickel, Palladium remains essential in high-reliability capacitors found in critical electronics such as medical devices, telecom, and automotive systems. This year, International #ewasteday – 14 October 2025 – will spotlight Critical Raw Materials (CRMs) — elements mined in only a handful of countries, yet crucial to the green and digital transition. Whether you’re a company, a school, an NGO or a public authority, you can join the movement! Organise an event, a campaign or an awareness initiative, and register your activity to be part of a global effort to reduce e-waste and recover valuable materials: 👉 https://lnkd.in/dZifT6V ♻️ Recycle your e-waste – It’s critical!
Thank you for the reminder.
