Innovation in Sustainable Copper Mining
As the world shifts closer towards the green and digital transition, the demand for copper, an essential mineral for solar power, wind energy, bioenergy, electricity network production, as well as EVs and battery storage, will only increase. To support the demand, the approximate number of new copper mines must increase by 80 by 2030, in addition to the 250 copper mines worldwide in existence.
In this session, partners from the entire Copper ecosystem will share their insights, the latest research towards sustainable mineral processing and as well as the MissionZero-mine. Representing the mine to market-process, this panel will outline their commitment to ensuring that the supply for the green transition is reliable and sustainable.

Closing the Loop for Raw Materials: Sustainable Lithium-ion Battery Recycling by Li-Cycle
As the demand for lithium-ion batteries continues to increase, end-of-life and circular solutions are essential toward ensuring a secure and resilient supply of critical battery materials for the energy transition. Recycling can help reduce the need for virgin materials and the environmental footprint of new EV batteries. Recycled raw materials have significantly lower CO2 footprint, emissions, and water usage compared to primary sources. This panel discusses the importance of the sustainability of lithium-battery recycling towards meeting Europe’s ambitions toward a secure and decarbonized economy.
