IMFORMED is delighted to announce
Mineral Recycling Forum 2027
Pullman Cannes Mandelieu, 12-14 April
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.
In response to feedback we are returning once again to the French Riviera, and to the Pullman Cannes Hotel located in the picturesque town of Mandelieu-La Napoule, just 25min from Nice airport.
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.
Indeed, mineral recycling is one of the two missions of the mineral and mining industry shaping its immediate and long term future (the other being decarbonisation).
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 2027 will be of interest to all those active in or evaluating their participation in secondary raw materials

Springtime on the French Riviera!
The venue for Mineral Recycling Forum 2027 is the beautiful French Riviera town of Mandelieu-La Napoule, near Cannes, south France (just 25 min from Nice Côte d’Azur International Airport). The Pullman Cannes Mandelieu Royal Casino Hotel is wonderfully located on the beach and within a few minutes walk of the marina, which is surrounded by excellent bars and restaurants, and the picturesque Château de la Napoule. More bars and eateries are just a little further in the nearby town. Cannes is just a 15-20min taxi ride. (More venue details).
