In order to progress, the whole of society is reliant on newly sourced raw materials. As a relatively small percentage of materials demand is met through existing recycling processes, the continued responsible mining of new raw materials is crucial. Raw materials are important for a wide range of technological developments underpinning key growth sectors such as building, agriculture, transport, renewables, air conditioning and electrical grids. Today, many prevailing issues, which are usually first developed in select regulatory geographies, are applicable to the wider world of multi-materials. The developing world of recycling for instance, the increasing impact of recycled material availability on virgin material, ESG, supporting select SDG’s, sustainability futures, circularity, chemicals regulations and criticality are just some of the many issues impacting our multi-materials world. Moreover, materials and commodities must defend their global marketing image while showing growth in sustainability credentials.
More than ever, changes in demand market sentiment, and dynamics in influential supply chains, play a critical role in the flow of materials, and how materials are perceived among important specifiers and end users. All this is happening while we all attempt to spot the bottlenecks and the opportunities! Mining and Materials Markets Ltd., based in London England, has been created to look across trending and future issues to offer multi-materials strategic and market development insights and advice.
Thank you, and until next time!
