Welcome to Critical Minerals Frontier, the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s first Network convening dedicated to creating a circular economy for critical minerals.
Bringing together senior business leaders across the value chain and key stakeholders including industry actors, investors, and funders, this flagship event will explore how circular economy strategies can unlock new opportunities across industries including EV batteries, electronics, and emerging technologies.
Current value chains are exposed to significant systemic risks including unprecedented demand for critical minerals, volatile supply chains, and environmental and social pressures. The circular economy is a systemic approach that turns this challenge into an opportunity.
Together, through plenary sessions and interactive working groups, we will explore how we can mobilise circular economy solutions to keep critical minerals in use — maximising value, building resilience, unlocking new revenue streams, and building long-term competitiveness.
Critical Minerals Frontier offers an opportunity to gain insights on circular economy strategies, network, and explore potential partnerships and collaborative projects to start driving action today.
No single actor or organisation can change the system alone. Join us at the frontier of critical mineral value chains to influence the future of circular economy implementation.
Critical Minerals Frontier is an in-person event bringing together senior business leaders and key stakeholders including industry actors, investors, and funders to explore how a circular economy for critical minerals can help shape broader conversations and unlock opportunities within the energy and digital transitions.
To benefit fully, participants should bring relevant expertise from industries including EV batteries or electronics, with roles spanning functions such as product design, procurement, strategy, innovation, or investment. During registration, participants will be asked to indicate their primary focus area to ensure high-value discussions throughout the event.
Creating a circular economy for critical minerals will require diverse perspectives across geographies and roles. We strongly encourage participation across regions and functions.
