Simultaneously tracing the fate of seven metals at a global level with MaTrace-multi

Christoph Helbig et al.

Summary: This study traced the fate of several metals in different stages and found that nickel has the longest longevity, while zinc has a shorter lifespan. The results can be used to model the impacts of circular economy policies and technological developments on global metal cycles.

Linkage of impact pathways to cultural perspectives to account for multiple aspects of mineral resource use in life cycle assessment

Alexandre Charpentier Poncelet et al.

Summary: This article examines the multiple impact pathways of mineral resource use in life cycle assessment, proposing the consideration of cultural perspectives in determining relevant impact pathways and assessment methods. Analysis reveals that different cultural perspectives prioritize different aspects of resource use, leading to distinct socio-economic objectives. The proposal aims to provide a more holistic assessment of impact pathways and suggests potential development scenarios for method advancements.

Alloy information helps prioritize material criticality lists

T. E. Graedel et al.

Summary: Materials scientists often overlook the criticality and reuse potential of materials, especially those used mainly as alloying elements. This study identifies six metals, including dysprosium, samarium, vanadium, niobium, tellurium, and gallium, which deserve increased attention in terms of their unlikely recycling potential and low functional end-of-life recycling rates.

Losses and lifetimes of metals in the economy

Alexandre Charpentier Poncelet et al.

Summary: The consumption of most metals continues to rise due to population growth, affluence, and technological development. This study models the fate of 61 metals over time and identifies where losses are expected to occur. The findings highlight the importance of improving design and waste management practices to enhance resource efficiency and recycling of metals.

Mineral resource dissipation in life cycle inventories

Antoine Beylot et al.

Summary: This article proposes an approach to account for mineral resource dissipation in life cycle inventories, with the application to analyze the direct dissipation of mineral resources along the primary production of copper. The results show that the production of 1 kg of copper cathode generates 0.88 kg of direct dissipative flows of resources, primarily calcium carbonate, copper, and to a lower extent iron. The developed approach may change the interpretation of results regarding mineral resources in LCA and have implications on methodological aspects and data requirements.

Life cycle impact assessment methods for estimating the impacts of dissipative flows of metals

Alexandre Charpentier Poncelet et al.

Summary: Metal dissipation can have potential environmental impacts and should be addressed in life cycle assessments. Two LCIA methods have been proposed to capture the dissipation patterns of metals based on dynamic material flow analysis data.

Towards sustainable resource management: identification and quantification of human actions that compromise the accessibility of metal resources

Jo Dewulf et al.

Summary: This paper discusses the accessibility of metals and minerals once they have entered the technosphere, identifying six human actions that compromise accessibility and proposing solutions to address resource (in)accessibility. Through a case study on cobalt in the EU, it demonstrates the current challenges and impacts of resource inaccessibility.
