Mineral Recycling Forum 2025 – Pullman Cannes Mandelieu, 9-11April 2025

Tomorrow’s “mining” will in large part be efficient and economic utilisation of today’s industrial waste.

More than ever, the fast evolving industrial mineral recycling sector has an essential and increasing role to play as mineral consuming markets, and governments, undergo a major rethink on strategic mineral sourcing and evaluate recycled alternatives for a sustainable future in mineral use in the Circular Economy.

But how to go about getting involved in this sector? Who’s doing what already & how? And crucially, what impact will it have on customers and markets?

Held in the beautiful French Riviera town of Mandelieu-La Napoule, near Cannes, south France (just 25min from Nice International Airport), Mineral Recycling Forum 2025 brings together an expert panel to discuss the latest trends and developments in secondary raw material sourcing, supply, processing, quality control, logistics, and crucially, their market applications.
