A new report by environmental groups lays out a case for banning deep sea mining.
Deep sea mining is the pursuit of rare, valuable minerals that lie undisturbed upon the ocean floor.
Critical minerals are instrumental in the manufacture of everything from electric vehicle batteries to laptops and disposable vape cartridges.
A new report aims to position critical minerals in products and e-waste as an “abundant domestic resource” The report calls for making active efforts to extend product lifetimes and invest in “ second life” opportunities for tech like solar panels and battery recycling that have reached the end of their useful lifespan.
Like deep sea mining, the infrastructure needed to make this a worthwhile path forward will be tremendous.
Investing in a circular economy is not going to be an easy task, but committing to it means sourcing critical minerals from places nearby, and reducing some waste in the process.
Barron says he isn't convinced these efforts will be enough.
