NOW

         1. Transport of raw materials:
               - - « direct » costs
            - environnemental costs

      (0.1 EUR/km/ton) 100.000 tons - 300 km = 3.000.000 EUR
NOW                        2. Imports of raw materials

        The EU is highly dependent on imports of raw materials.

As global demand for critical raw material grows, primary raw
  materials will continue to play a key role. Mobilising Europe’s
 domestic potential better is an essential part of the EU becoming
    more resilient and developing open strategic autonomy.

 Europe has a long tradition of mining and extractive activities. It is
  well-endowed with aggregates and industrial minerals as well as
certain base metals such as copper and zinc. It is less successful in
 developing projects to source critical raw materials, even though
               there is significant potential for these.

                                  Long pieces tend to block machine components.
                                  3D sieve removes these long pieces and wires.
                                  Oversize (>20 mm) is send to sink-float.
