The
European Raw Materials Alliance (ERMA) aims to make Europe economically
more resilient by diversifying its supply chains, creating jobs,
attracting investments to the raw materials value chain, fostering
innovation, training young talents and contributing to the best enabling
framework for raw materials and the Circular Economy worldwide.
The
Alliance addresses the challenge of securing access to sustainable raw
materials, advanced materials, and industrial processing know-how. By
2030, ERMA’s activities will increase the production of raw and advanced
materials and address Circular Economy by boosting the recovery and
recycling of Critical Raw Materials. More specifically, the Alliance
will:
Bolster the creation of environmentally sustainable and socially equitable innovations and infrastructure
Implement a Circular Economy of complex products like electric vehicles, clean tech, and hydrogen equipment
Support Europe’s raw materials industry capability, to extract, design, manufacture and recycle materials
Promote innovation, strategic investment, and industrial production across specific value chains.
