Development of new materials and material applications for industry and society is the core business of the Materials innovation institute M2i. If material scarcity has to be taken seriously, and M2i is of that opinion, properly directed material innovation is needed to help solving material scarcity. Therefore M2i has carried out a study on the shortage of non-energy raw materials: for the benefit of its industrial and university partners, to increase the awareness for material scarcity and to support the discussion how to approach material scarcity in material research and production. The study is also intended as a help for the government by highlighting several aspects of material scarcity and the effect on the Dutch industry. Find here the document M2i study.
