Minerals4EU FP7-NMP.2013.4.1-3 Foresight Study Thematic Report IV Secondary Raw Materials (Including Mine Wastes) Compiled by: Dominic Wittmer, Henrike Sievers Contributing authors: Petr Rambousek, Tereza Jandová, Vít Štruple János Kiss and Zoltán Horváth Kerstin Kuhn, Andreas Kamradt, Philipp Büttner Daniel de Oliveira, Lídia Quenta, Catarina Lopes Henning Wilts, Luis Tercero Espinoza, Dominic Wittmer 1 WP6 – Foresight Study Minerals4EU FP7-NMP.2013.4.1-3 Preliminary note This thematic report has been developed within the Minerals4EU project in the context of the first Foresight Study report (WP6) that comprises a central report and five thematic reports. These contributions were designed according to a well-defined structure to fit the purposes of the central Foresight Study report. The scope and targets of the first Foresight Study significantly determine the nature of the documents and may not be suited for unspecified or differing purposes. The topics of the five thematic reports containing topic papers and case studies are: I. European raw material potential II. Legislative and governmental controlled challenges with regard to European mineral raw materialdeposist III. Societal challenges of mineral raw material deposits accessibility IV. Secondary raw materials (including mine wastes) V. Developments on the raw material markets The following institutions contributed to WP6 in the Minerals4EU project: GTK (Geologian Tutkimuskeskus, Finland) BGR (Bundesanstalt für Geowissenschaften und Rohstoffe, Germany) CGS (Ceska Geologicka Sluzba, Czech Republik) GEUS (The Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland, Denmark) LNEG (Laboratorio Nacional de Energia e Geologia I.P., Portugal) MFGI
