Hightech & Electronics Cart
The Hightech & Electronics cart incorporates the strategic metals rhenium, tantalum, indium, cobalt and silver.
Our society is constantly evolving. Strategic metals are found not only in advanced products but also in many applications and devices that we use each and every day. The everyday use of radios, coffee makers, smartphones, tablets and flatscreens as well as the production of renewable energies all the way through to aircraft and aerospace technologies is what makes these metals indispensable.
