1 Resource Efficiency in the Minerals and Metals Sector Dr John Atherton Senior Program Director UNEP/OECD Workshop Paris 23/25 April 2008
2 Overview Understanding the Challenges A life cycle based response Materials Stewardship Creating renewable materials Efficient metrics 2
3 Resource Challenges Demand for minerals and metals is increasing Prices high due to tight supply Mining is an environmentally invasive activity Major deposits in developing countries Contribution to sustainable development Security of nation state raw material supply Data Source: Khomei Halada, National Institute for Materials Science, Japan ( ) 50,000 40,000 30,000 20,000 10,000 Cu (K ton) 0 Cu ,800,000 1,600,000 1,400,000 1,200,000 1,000, , , , , US UK Japan Italy Germany France Russia India China Brazil
4 Consumption vs Use Policy response to non-renewable resource depletion reduce consumption emissions control and waste management emphasise non-renewability of the resource (ores and naturally occurring minerals) paucity of consideration for social dimension Maximising Value A new policy perspective a life cycle approach conserve materials emphasise durability and recyclability of metals sustainable use 4
5 Maximizing Value - Objective Maximizing Value was created to help ICMM and its members understand materials stewardship and its application. It supports a number of ICMM s SD Principles in particular: # 8 facilitate and encourage responsible product design, use, re-use and recycling and disposal of our products and # 5 seek continual improvement in our health and safety performance # 6 continually seek ways to improve environmental performance 5
6 What is Materials Stewardship? Materials stewardship means responsibly providing materials and supervising material flows to create maximum societal value and minimum impact on humans and the environment. 4 Key Themes»» 1. Take a Systems Perspective Understanding material flows and life cycle benefits 2. Build new and strengthen existing relationships Interacting with other players in the value chain 3. Optimize the production and application of minerals and metals Implementing Eco-efficiency 4. Contribute to a robust, accessible base of information to support decision making Transparent sharing and reporting of data and information 6
7 Process and Product Stewardship Disposal Return to Environment Societal demand for minerals and metals Reuse Use Design and Manufacture Remanufacture PRODUCT STEWARDSHIP PROCESS STEWARDSHIP Exploration Fabrication Recycling Mining Smelting and refining Concentration Materials Stewardship 7
8 Maximizing Value through Process Stewardship Resource endowment - good governance in the management and investment of revenues Community development - building sustainable communities for the life time of the mine as well as post mining. Reducing environmental impacts biodiversity policy Reduced emissions and energy efficiency. 8
9 Maximizing Value through Product Stewardship Risk assessment and communication Design for environment Product policy Innovation Creating a Renewable Materials society 9
10 Maximizing Value through Materials Recycling Metals can be recycled repeatedly without loss of value Maximum efficiency through reuse / recycling Reduced energy demand Conservation of raw materials Reduced environmental impacts Promoting a Renewable Materials Society 10
11 Ensure Efficiency of Recycling Promoting a Renewable Materials Society requires Appropriate metrics Understanding of material flows Determination of material pools local, regional and global Materials not waste orientated public policy Public private partnerships Design for recycling 11
12 Metrics of Recycling Macro metrics do not account for metals recycling Ratio of primary / recycled metals production is flawed No account of metal durability metal life cycle rate of collection unprocessed stock Overall Recycling Efficiency Rate Recycled metals RER= Metals possible to collect (old + new scrap) 12
13 Material Cycle Type 2 Alloy loop Recycling retains metal A and B in alloy material loop Metal A Primary production Metal B Primary production Metal product fabrication Manufacture Use Collection & Disassembly Loss (disposal and emissions) 13
14 Preserving Natural Capital VAL EAS battery recycling process - sustainable and cost-efficient Umicore is the only company in the world proposing a real closed loop solution for Li-ion batteries combined with an environmentally sound management of these end-of-life batteries. 14
15 Conclusions Resource efficiency in the minerals and metals sector is realised through the implementation of sustainable development principles throughout the life cycle of minerals and metals. A life cycle management approach to minerals and metals is required where the fulcrum is the material and the principal objective is to capitalise on the renewability of metals. Materials Stewardship is a key framework condition, where all stakeholders have a shared responsibility to maximise the value of materials. 15
