In this video, we deep-dive into the need for a circular economy approach to critical minerals, the lifeblood of our technological era. From the lithium in your batteries, to the gallium in your televisions, these minerals power the devices that define modern life, yet their unsustainable extraction and disposal pose significant challenges to our environment and society.
Join us as we explore the key societal behaviours that must evolve to support a circular economy for critical minerals. From shifting consumer attitudes towards product longevity and repairability, to promoting corporate responsibility in material sourcing and recycling, there are critical shifts needed to ensure the sustainable management of these precious resources.
Through insightful analysis and expert insights, we uncover the paramount importance of transitioning to a circular economy model. By reducing reliance on virgin materials, promoting material reuse and recycling, and embracing innovative technologies for resource recovery, we can minimise environmental degradation, reduce carbon emissions, and foster a more resilient and equitable society.
Don't miss this crucial discussion on the imperative of transforming our approach to critical minerals. Join the movement towards a sustainable future by understanding the societal behaviours that must change and advocating for the adoption of circular economy principles.
