Summary
The subject teaches students about occurrence of metals containing waste materials and their necessary treatment prior to recycling. It deals also with environmental and economic aspects of recycling of metals containing materials, including eco-design. The main orientation is focused on processing of materials based on metals and their alloys that are the most widely used in industrial practice.
