Coalition Urges EU Circular Economy Act to Scale Battery Recycling, Curb Black Mass Exports

A joint letter from T&E, Recharge, Clean Tech for Europe and EIES calls on the EU to include concrete measures in the upcoming Circular Economy Act to scale battery recycling and material recovery. With over half of Europe's recycling capacity at risk and at least 60% of black mass exported, the groups warn of lost critical minerals, jobs and strategic autonomy.

Microbes and Heavy Metals: How Bio-Leaching Could Ease the Copper Crunch for Clean Tech

A new bio-leaching process uses acid-loving microbes to extract more copper from depleted ore at an Arizona mine, potentially easing a projected 10-million-metric-ton shortfall by 2040. Copper is essential to renewable energy and electric transportation, making mining innovation a quiet but critical link in the green transition.
