IOM3 InvestigatesIOM3 Investigates...Unearthing Stories: Authors discuss the mining and materials supply chainHistorically, some industrial activities have elicited strong views from the public. Finding the balance between interest and accessibility without bias can be a challenge. Understandably, many companies are nervous of lighting the touchpaper of public opinion and over time this reticence about sharing the details of industrial processes can lead to a lack of public understanding about how things are made.
There are thousands of people doing jobs that aren't well known, digging up rocks at unprecedented scales all over the world. An increasingly complex supply chain with countless processes convert natural resources into something useful. With critical minerals ever...

They explain that CBAM is a way to put a fair price on carbon emitted during the production of carbon-intensive goods, with the aim of encouraging cleaner industrial production in non-EU exporting countries and preventing carbon leakage. The EU CBAM covers goods such as steel, aluminium, electricity, iron, cement, fertilizers, and hydrogen. The UK is planning to introduce its own CBAM from 2027 and a consultation is currently running.

Ever since Blue Planet 2 hit our screens back in 2017, public awareness of materials has started to grow. From immediate concerns about plastic pollution, increasingly people are looking at the wider climate, air, soil, water, and biodiversity impacts of our seemingly insatiable demand for more stuff. These issues are the focus of Julie’s 2011 book, and together she and Colin review how far (or not) the debate has come over the past ten years.
