Today, our Director @esradt.bsky.social joins @ec.europa.eu's Raw Materials Week with a clear message: let’s face it, Europe has little chance to out‑mine other regions.
Europe’s competitiveness will come from designing smarter, using materials strategically, and keeping them in the loop for good.

All residuals should be covered, not just landfill.
