DESCRIPTION: The Critical Raw Materials (CRM) Act and other EU policies aim to address the challenges faced by the extractive and processing industries. These policies focus on improving access to raw materials, reducing EU dependency, increasing circularity, promoting recycling, and ensuring sustainability, competitiveness, and efficiency. The EU-funded BLOOM project will develop advanced extraction and processing technologies to exploit primary CRM, in collaboration with Ukraine and Canada. The project seeks to strengthen the EU’s supply chains by enhancing extraction and processing efficiency through a smart analysis system, reducing costs, increasing financial viability, and making low-grade deposits profitable. The consortium includes 15 partners from four European countries, along with partners from Ukraine, Canada, and Brazil.
