Why aren’t miners putting circularity at the heart of their strategies?

  • How do short-term profit pressures affect mining companies' willingness to invest in circularity? 
  • Are there specific factors in the mining industry that make it more challenging to balance short-term profits with long-term circularity goals? 
  • What makes implementing circular practices in mining so complex? 
  • What specific barriers do companies face in reclaiming and reusing materials effectively within mining operations? 
  • How does the lack of regulatory pressure and incentives impact circularity initiatives in the mining sector?
