Recent world events such as the 2020-21 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine War have impacted mineral supply chains and amplified the issues of overreliance on certain mineral sources and the vulnerability of mineral supply chains.
More than ever, the fast evolving mineral recycling sector has an essential and increasing role to play as mineral consuming markets, and governments, undergo a major rethink on strategic mineral sourcing and evaluate recycled alternatives for a sustainable future in mineral use in the Circular Economy.

As the minerals industry strives towards sustainable development in the 2020s, the recycling of waste products – whether from mine tailings or industrial waste – to generate “Secondary Raw Materials” (SRM) is emerging fast as an important additional source of industrial minerals for a range of consuming markets.
Tomorrow’s “mining” will in large part be efficient and economic utilisation of today’s industrial waste.
But how to go about getting involved in this sector? Whether to invest in an in-house business/plant? Partner with an independent recycler? Join forces with same-sector players? How much and how far to invest? And crucially, what impact will it have on customers and markets?
Mineral Recycling Forum 2023 will be of interest to all those active in secondary raw material
- Sourcing
- Processing
- Quality Control
- Distribution/Logistics
- Market Application
- Legislation/Policy
and especially established industrial mineral suppliers and buyers keen to assess the outlook for competitive and alternative materials.
