Tallinn Pilot

The separation technology start-up ImpactPCB idea arised from EIT RawMaterials Global Digital Race 2020.

The idea was carried out throught the EIT Jumpstarter accelerator programm and finally made it to the upscalling KAVA-8 programm as a part of the “RENEW: Recycling of Epoxies from Non-ferrous E-Waste”.

The separation solution concept provided by TalTech (Tallinn University of Technology) originated from EIT RawMaterials students team titled” ImpactPCB” work based on master’s thesis.

ImpactPCB is a separation plants and R&D/ logistical services provider in the area of e-scrap (namely Waste Printed Circuit Boards) pretreatment and materials recovery using dry separation processes and mobile plant module.

The dry separation and mobility of the plant allows for recovery of ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, ceramics and polymers from the e-scrap in remote sites. The logistical support helps establish supply lines between ImpactPCB and partners.

The TRL8 mobile plant is set to be operational in 2025/26 and will be available for testing within EU/EAA and associated partner countries.
