As an example, for modeling hydrometallurgy approaches and screening solvents, incorporating physics laws related to solvent dissolution into a data driven approach could accelerate the acquisition of the key parameters to optimize the recycling process. In addition, if we consider the scope of direct recycling methodologies, it could be possible to come up with different suggestions to apply a hybrid methodology like PIML, therefore, it is up to researchers to identify the key challenges of each process step, and select the most appropriate modeling technique that can help achieve this goal.
