In this episode we speak to BGS Policy Director, Andrew Bloodworth, about what exactly critical raw materials are, where they’re from and the crucial role they will play as we move to a low-to-zero carbon economy.
We also talk to Frances Wall, Professor of Applied Mineralogy at Camborne School of Mines, to learn how we, both as individuals and at a societal scale, can contribute towards a circular economy by keeping metals in use.
