Upcoming policies
‘the Commission is invited to present, by the end of 2019,
a long-term vision for the EU’s industrial future,
with concrete measures to implement it. It should address
the challenges European industry faces, touching upon all
relevant policy areas’
European Green Deal
‘To become world’s first climate-neutral continent’
‘We will be a world leader in circular economy and clean
technologies. We will work to decarbonise energy-
intensive industries’
‘I will propose a New Circular Economy Action Plan
focusing on sustainable resource use, especially in resource-
intensive and high-impact sector’

EU Circular Economy
Action Plan

HORIZON 2020 SUPPORT TO CIRCULAR
ECONOMY
• Going beyond waste - Interdependence
across the Value Chain
• 5 priority sectors, including Critical Raw
Materials
• All forms of innovations:
(technological and non-technological)
• Large scale demonstration projects
• Focus on impact

Raw materials contribution to SDGs (Mancini et al., 2018)
Raw Materials Information System (RMIS)
What is RMIS? • RMIS is the EC’s knowledge platform on non-fuel, non- agriculture raw materials from primary to secondary sources, along the entire value/supply chains • RMIS includes both abiotic and biotic materials • RMIS act as key interface for policy support
Goals & Scopes • RMIS acts as the reference access point to the EU Raw Materials Knowledge Base (EURMKB) • RMIS facilitates the availability, coherence, and quality of knowledge required by specific EU raw materials policies and EC services • RMIS provides structured quantitative knowledge within Europe and beyond and contribute to developing country & material specific profiles
RMIS – Other news 2019 RMIS Roadmap • Provides an overview of RMIS • Highlights progresses made since the release of the 2017 Roadmap report • Illustrates development priorities and milestones • Gives a chance to discuss needs & priorities RMIS Newsletter to better inform stakeholders on new releases related to RMIS, upcoming events, ongoing work, etc.
Social license to
operate (SLO)
• Acceptance and trust from local communities and other stakeholders in
relation to activities, mainly – but not exclusively – in the mining sector
(exploration and extraction)
• The sustainability and responsibility in production of raw materials in
the EU may meet society’s expectations and thus improve approval and
consent
• Develop a life-cycle based impact assessment method for sustainable
sourcing based on a common understandingEASME data hub
