Is Europe too late to the metal recycling game?
As the energy transition drives demand for battery metals, European policymakers are scrambling to catch up on recycling and raw material security -- decades after the rest of the world got started.
As Europe's energy transition accelerates demand for battery metals, policymakers are urgently addressing recycling and raw material security, recognizing that urban mining of metals from waste is vital for sustainability and to counter China's dominance in the processing and trading of these resources. #BatteryMetals #Recycling #EnergyTransition
