IMFORMED is delighted to announce

Mineral Recycling Forum 2025

Pullman Cannes Mandelieu, 9-11 April

More than ever, the fast evolving industrial mineral recycling sector has an essential and increasing role to play as mineral consuming markets, and governments, undergo a major rethink on strategic mineral sourcing and evaluate recycled alternatives for a sustainable future in mineral use in the Circular Economy.

As the minerals industry strives towards sustainable development in the 2020s, the recycling of waste products – whether from mine tailings or industrial waste – to generate “Secondary Raw Materials” (SRM) is emerging fast as an important additional source of industrial minerals for a range of consuming markets.

Tomorrow’s “mining” will in large part be efficient and economic utilisation of today’s industrial waste.

  • But how to go about getting involved in this sector?

  • Whether to invest in an in-house business/plant?

  • Partner with an independent recycler?

  • Who’s doing what already & how?

  • And crucially, what impact will it have on customers and markets?

Mineral Recycling Forum 2025 will be of interest to all those active in secondary raw materials

  • Sourcing
  • Processing
  • Quality Control 
  • Distribution/Logistics
  • Market Application
  • Legislation/Policy

and especially established industrial mineral suppliers and buyers keen to assess the outlook for competitive and alternative materials.

I had a blast getting to meet people from other companies to discuss the challenges and accomplishments in mineral recycling both in and out of the refractory industry. Thank you to IMFORMED Industrial Mineral Forums & Research Ltd for putting on an amazing conference.
