Study into the feasibility of protecting and recovering critical raw materials through infrastructure development in the south east of England
Abstract:
“The purpose of this study was to examine the applications for the EU‟s list of 14 critical materials, review existing practices associated with their recovery, and identify the end markets where increased recovery of these materials has the greatest potential for implementation. The issue of critical materials is strongly related to resource efficiency and waste minimisation: these have the possibility to reduce the demand for raw materials. Therefore there are links with the aims of EPOW, which are broader than simply the minimisation of waste, and extend into other related issues such as this.”
