I read this title in the Financial Times: "The EU’s looming mismatch between climate ambition and minerals supply".
For quite a while I have been thinking that despite governments not doing real politics regarding climate change because priorities will always be towards growth, I think that eventually governments will have no option and do real politics about the rising damages and problems created by climate change and pollution.
Mining is one of the most polluting activity and geological destruction of biodiversity. Yet, today society and its technologies and economic growth demands are always demanding more minerals.
I am guessing that eventually governmental policies will enforce that recycled minerals be prioritized over mining, just as we see now more and more big chains of fashion industries marketing more and more of their clothes from recycled wool.
Thinking about it, I have invested in Befesa (steel and aluminium recycling) and EcoGraf (graphite recycling for batteries). And I am looking for more similar companies investing in recycling technologies. I am not interested in wool recycling because I believe that with hemp legalisation increasing in more countries it will be, together with bamboo and other kinds
But what are the chances for minerals recycling to have a strong growth in the future?
