English term

Focus Materials

English to Spanish Tech/Engineering Environment & Ecology International Cooperation
Context is a recycling handbook.

"The recycler shall comply with all applicable environmental, health and safety, and data security legal requirements and shall only import and export equipment and components containing Focus Materials in full compliance with all applicable regulations...."

The term is actually defined later in the document as follows:

“Focus Materials,” also referred to as “FMs,” are materials in end-of-life electronic equipment that warrant greater care during recycling, refurbishing, materials recovery, energy recovery, incineration, and/or disposal due to their toxicity or other potential adverse worker health and safety, public health, or environmental effects that can arise if the materials are managed without appropriate safeguards.

I wonder if a Spanish term has already been coined for this concept. Any help is appreciated.

Note from asker:
Thanks for your help. After consulting with the client, we settled for the term "Materiales de Interés," which seems to fit the context of the document. Thanks again
