IMFORMED is delighted to announce an exciting portfolio of high profile conferences for 2020, providing the global industrial minerals business with topical and informative speaker presentations combined with invaluable networking opportunities to develop your business.

The recycling of waste products to generate “Secondary Raw Materials” (SRM) has emerged as an important source of industrial minerals for a range of consuming markets.

Increased recycling of all products, and sensitivity on over-reliance of declining and limited natural mineral resources, have all placed mineral recycling firmly in the spotlight. Tomorrow’s “mining” will in large part be utilisation of today’s industrial waste.

This year our location is the historic city of Aachen, also home to some of Europe’s leading recycling and mineral technological learning and research centres.

This Forum covers the supply chain from waste sourcing, processing, to end use markets. Of interest to all those active in the sourcing, processing, quality control, distribution and use of SRM, and especially established industrial mineral suppliers and buyers keen to assess the outlook for competitive and substitute materials.
