As demand for critical minerals continues to grow, the industry faces increasing pressure to maximise resource efficiency, recover valuable materials from waste streams, and develop sustainable pathways for industrial by-products. This webinar will explore how innovation across the minerals value chain is helping to build a more circular and resilient resources sector.

Presenters will share international research and practical examples spanning critical raw materials recovery, industrial symbiosis, circular resource use, and the valorisation of mining and metallurgical by-products. Topics will include the recovery of critical and strategic minerals from waste streams and end-of-life products, approaches to zero-emission metal production, and opportunities to utilise industrial by-products in construction materials.

The webinar will feature insights from Ana Maria Martinez, Chief Scientist and leader of SINTEF’s strategic initiative on minerals and critical raw materials; Casper van der Eijk, Centre Director of the Zero Emissions Metal Production Research Centre; and Tobias Danner, Senior Research Scientist specialising in the utilisation of industrial by-products and alternative construction materials.

This session will be valuable for mining and processing professionals, researchers, government stakeholders, and anyone interested in advancing sustainable resource development, circular economy outcomes, and critical minerals value chains.
