Importance of the criticality of specific raw materials for NRW companies
Reducing dependencies: Critical raw materials and their importance for the green economy of the future
The implementation of the Green Deal depends heavily on raw materials. But what resources are actually required for this, where do they come from, how stable are their supply chains and what recycling options already exist? What does this mean for stakeholders in NRW and how can recycling capacity be increased (to 25 percent) in order to make the availability of raw materials more resilient? We want to discuss this with…
- Entrepreneurs from the manufacturing industry
- Representatives of the recycling industry
- the Circular Economy Round Table

Pathways to a circular economy in the electronics industry in NRW

Circular economy in the electronics industry
Circular B2B electronics exchange platform - Findings
The electronics industry plays a key role in the transition to a comprehensive circular economy. New regulatory frameworks and strategies at European level, such as the Critical Raw Materials Act, and at national level, such as the draft National Circular Economy Strategy, are influencing and supporting the transformation of the electronics sector towards a circular economy. In addition to general strategies and measures, there are also specific targets for reducing the environmental impact of production and use along the product value chain, for example through better product design and more efficient recycling.
In order to shape the transformation and establish material cycles, relevant stakeholder groups from business, science and politics in North Rhine-Westphalia are working together in the Circular B2B Electronics exchange platform.
This article summarises the stakeholder perspectives, obstacles and opportunities for the circular economy.
