Join David Peck as he explains what critical materials are and how a transition to a circular economy will ensure a sustainable future

Ticket sales for this event have now ended.

What are &#x27;critical materials&#x27;? It&#x27;s an idea that has come about because supplies of some materials, especially metals, could become unstable, their prices volatile, and other factors such as conflict or pandemic could make obtaining them difficult. In turn, this may prevent them from being used in our products, buildings and infrastructure. These constraints may undermine the deployment of key technologies for sustainable development, such as batteries for electric power.Join David Peck as he explains how a transition to a circular economy could be a promising approach to mitigate these issues. David will also explore how looking back in history has helped frame the complex challenges of critical materials and a circular economy.This event is supported by the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.By booking to attend events at the Royal Institution, you confirm that you have read and agree to the Ri&#x27;s <a href="http://www.rigb.org/whats-on/event-terms-and-conditions" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">event terms and conditions</a>.Event image by Rijksdienst voor het Cultureel Erfgoed
