Foreword
The current industrial society must solve two major problems: the lack of raw materials and the lack of energy. Most raw materials shortage is represented by metals. Unlike other materials, metal products can be replaced only to a limited extent or not at all. Global stocks of primary metal raw materials are getting depleted significantly and for some of them there are open deposits only for a couple of years. Therefore, in recent years the importance of metals recycling is increasing, not only in terms of sustainable development issues, but also because significant energy saving and environmental protection is achieved. Worldwide, approximately 20–50 million tons of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipments (WEEEs
