Gallium (Ga) is a unique metal used in making many types of electrical and electronic products perform efficiently.  Though used in small amounts, it’s still a limited resource. You have no doubt heard “reduce, reuse, and recycle,” and over the past few decades, significant progress has been made in the recovery of electronics “end-of-life” products. While many of the metals used in electronic products have now achieved significant levels of recycling, such is not the case for minor metals like gallium...
