The Swedish Green Party is advocating for a national coordinator to develop a functioning recycling system for critical metals and minerals, highlighting the problem of waste in the production of goods.
In Jokkmokk, Sweden, the Green Party has raised concerns about the lack of an effective system for recycling critical metals and minerals in the country. According to Daniel HelldΓ©n, a spokesperson for the party, Sweden produces vast amounts of products that contain these essential raw materials and minerals, much of which is discarded after use. This inefficiency not only wastes valuable resources but also poses environmental risks due to the extraction and processing of new materials.
