Info
Minerals, metals and advanced materials are key enablers to achieve the objectives of the European Green Deal. Today, only a fraction of the most relevant raw materials is produced in Europe. This can be changed through a circular economy approach, through innovation in recycling, substitution, processing, mining, and exploration. It is the objective of EIT RawMaterials to secure a sustainable raw materials supply by driving innovation, education, and entrepreneurship across European industrial ecosystems. EIT RawMaterials provides a collaborative environment for disruptive and breakthrough innovations by connecting business with academia, research, and investment. It also invests in future generation of innovators for the raw materials sector through initiatives ranging from education of school students to higher qualifications for industry professionals. The company is committed to supporting Europe’s transition towards a circular, green, and digital economy whilst strengthening its global competitiveness and securing employment. On this foundation, EIT RawMaterials has been mandated by the European Commission to lead and manage the European Raw Materials Alliance (ERMA). EIT RawMaterials is an Innovation Community within the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT).

Earlier this month, EIT RawMaterials’ long-time partner, Rare Earths Norway AS (“REN”), a Norwegian mining company, reached a significant milestone through the discovery of continental Europe’s largest deposit or rare earths (REE). This underscores Norway’s position as a vital part of Europe’s rare earth and critical raw material value chain. It also demonstrates Europe’s resource potential and the emerging opportunities to invest in world-class mining and processing projects to help secure our industrial value chains and set new standards in environmental and social performance through technology, innovation and collaboration. Rare Earths Norway is actively pursuing the Norwegian government ambitions through the new Mineral Strategy to develop the most sustainable mineral industry in the world. The goal for Rare Earths Norway is to contribute to a total, compact value chain, from mine to magnet with considerably lower climate- and environmental impact. Again, a huge congratulations to Alf Reistad and his team at Rare Earths Norway.

The Critical Raw Materials Act has set an extremely ambitious goal: by 2030, at least 25% of Europe's annual consumption of critical and strategic raw materials should come from domestic recycling. Our recent Raw Materials Summit attracted some of the industry’s leaders to the stage to discuss the realities behind this ambition. Making all products recycle-ready is the focus now, driving the vast amount of innovation needed to operate the most complex and sophisticated recycling technologies, keeping carbon emissions at a minimum, and, above all, making our business models viable. Today, EIT RawMaterials continues to fly the flag for recycling at the E-Waste World Conference & Expo in Frankfurt, one of Europe’s leading events for electronics recycling. If you're here, feel free to stop by and say hello at Booth D30. #CriticalRawMaterials #Recycling #CRMA #Decarbonisation #SustainableRecycling
