Session Details
The circular economy represents a transformative opportunity across the mining and metals value chain. Beyond reducing waste and increasing recycling, circularity provides an entry point to unlock value while the material is in use, accelerate net‑zero pathways, and support meaningful local impact by maximizing resource productivity. Applying circularity to mining and metals offers enormous potential — but how big could the business opportunity be for companies in the mining and metals value chain? Hear Vale Base Metals' Director of Circularity, Christian Spano, speak on how a circular approach could transform companies, the industry, and global value chains.
