The role of industrial actors in the circular economy for critical raw materials: a framework with case studies across a range of industries [PDF]

Mineral Economics, 2022
In this article, we explore concrete examples of circularity strategies for critical raw materials (CRMs) in commercial settings. We propose a company-level framework for systematically evaluating circularity strategies (e.g., material recycling, product
