As the new European Parliament begins its next mandate, and ahead of the new Commission mandate in autumn, now is a key moment to look at circular economy policy for the coming years, and how the copper industry and policymakers can work together.
Copper, by its very nature, is a circular material. Today, half of Europe’s copper demand is met with recycled material. When copper is recycled and used for a new purpose, it does not lose its properties or quality, allowing for unlimited reuse and recycling. Furthermore, copper by-products can also be recycled, driving recycling of other products as well.
KEFI Minerals plc (LON:KEFI) is an exploration and development company focussed on gold and copper deposits, primarily in the highly prospective Arabian-Nubian Shield.
