Earlier this year we set out six steps to kickstart the circular economy.
Critical minerals are an obvious step: they are crucial for resilience, the UK’s geological reserves are highly limited, and their supply chains are often destructive.

But more can be done to protect species while meeting housing targets. Clearer rules can also speed up development and cut costs for business.
