Hur kan cirkulära flöden öka tillgången till kritiska metaller och mineral?

Efterfrågan beräknas samtidigt mångdubblas om vi ska klara omställningen till ett fossilfritt samhälle. Förbättrad återvinning, återanvändning och återtillverkning är alla viktiga pusselbitar för att på ett hållbart sätt klara omställningen. Hur kan förutsättningarna för dessa förbättras?
