The sustainable use of resources, aligned with Sustainable Development Goal 12 (SDG 12) of the 2030 Agenda, has become a global priority, serving as the crucial balance point between the SDGs aimed at socio-economic growth and those focused on environmental protection and resource conservation. Achieving this equilibrium requires a comprehensive and technologically advanced approach to raw materials management, integrating both primary raw materials, which remain essential for securing strategic supply chains and enabling the digital and ecological transition, and secondary raw materials, which contribute to reducing dependency on virgin resources while closing material loops through efficient, high-performance recycling processes.

The Circular RAW Materials (CRAWMA) conference provides a platform for researchers, scientists, engineers, industry leaders, economists and policymakers to discuss the latest innovations, strategies and advancements in circular raw materials management, recycling technologies, urban mining and critical raw material supply chains, which are essential for key industrial sectors and emerging technologies. By connecting experts across disciplines, CRAWMA highlights cutting-edge research and technologies, along with economic, policy and societal perspectives, supporting sustainable raw materials management in alignment with SDG 12.

Conference Scope

CRAWMA explores the scientific and technological fundamentals of the circular approach to raw materials management, emphasizing the transition from linear to circular supply chains through innovation in recycling and recovery processes. The conference focuses on the sustainable use of both primary and secondary raw materials, aiming to close material loops and reduce dependency on virgin resources.
