Click For Summary
RFID wallets function primarily as a Faraday cage, blocking unauthorized radio waves rather than relying on chemical additives. The composition of materials, such as leather, can vary, with vegetable-tanned leather containing fewer chemicals than chrome-tanned leather. However, the residual chromium in chrome-tanned leather does not impact the wallet's ability to block radio waves. Typically, an RFID shield is integrated between the layers of the wallet's material to enhance protection against unauthorized card reading.

Lots of chemicals in leather, though. Veg tan leather has fewer than chrome tan leather. Most consumer leather wallets are chrome tan. The residual chromium has no effect on radio waves though.
A shield is glued between the various layers of leather or whatever material the wallet is made from.

Thread 'Flash Joule Heating (FJH) Method for treating process waste streams'

I caught the tail end of a video about a new application for treating chemical or process waste, which is applied to 'red' mud or contaminated bauxite residue, but the person of interest mention recovering critical minerals from consumer electronics, as well as treating mine tailings and processing ores of rare earth elements. What I found so far is the following: New electrical flash method rapidly purifies red mud into strong ceramics, aluminum feedstock...
