Metals have been essential to human civilisation for many thousands of years. With a broad range of applications they have found their way into virtually every aspect of our daily lives. Their durable and recyclable properties should make them ideal materials for a sustainable economy. But can metals live up to this promise?

The ideas and goals of sustainability are not only explained theoretically, but also applied to various stages of the metal making and trading process.
