The Foundation is leading efforts to implement a circular economy for critical minerals, crucial for addressing climate change and pollution. Supply chains for these minerals, used in EV batteries and technology, are fragile and in need of scaling up. Market transformation is being driven by vision, identifying barriers, and convening industry leaders, urging companies to adopt circular economy strategies for a competitive edge. Policymakers and industry leaders will collaborate on developing pathways for critical minerals at an upcoming workshop in Brazil.
