Be issued to correct destination of all material that is donated to the authority for recycling.

The civil engineer Mauricio Beltrão Fraletti, creator of Biet, said it already planned partnerships with public and private universities and entities such as the Regional Engineering, Architecture and Agronomy (Crea-PR), according to a spokesperson for the city. The goal is to develop research to find alternative methods of recycling such material to extract precious metals like gold, silver and platinum, these CDs and DVDs, for example, and now only hold them developed technology for extraction.

The Municipal Secretary of Environment, José Antonio Andreguetto, said more than once Curitiba is pulling ahead. "There is still a rule about what to do with these materials and certainly our experience can help to guide this process," said the secretary.

The market potential for the future success of the new project is quite broad. It is estimated that there will be 4.5 billion cellular handsets operating in the world in 2010. Today Brazil has between 163 and 165 million such devices, which have average life of three years.
