"Recycled metals are an important part of Boliden’s mission to enable a sustainable future for generations to come. To achieve this, we need to source raw materials in a responsible way, and the Roundtable on Responsible Recycling of Metals is a great opportunity to work together, to increase the understanding of risks and opportunities in the secondary raw materials value chain."

"Maximising responsible sourcing of scrap is vital to driving the responsible production of steel. And since scrap will play a vital and growing role in the decarbonization of steelmaking, this could not be more important in ensuring that the industry’s transition to net zero works for all. That’s why ResponsibleSteel is committed to supporting the Roundtable on the Responsible Recycling of Metals and its vital objective to ensure circular economies rely on recycled metals that do not harm people or the environment."

"As a Steering Group member, the International Copper Association supports the aims of the Roundtable of Responsibly Recycled Metals; the responsible sourcing of scrap is becoming increasingly important along the entire copper supply chain."

"CARES is the world’s leading independent provider of assured certification for the constructional steels industry. We certify over 130 steel mills, across 47 countries, most of which utilise significant volumes of ferrous scrap in Electric Arc, Induction and Basic Oxygen Furnaces. We welcome the Roundtable's work to help understand and codify the expectations of responsible sourcing within the ferrous scrap supply chain. This is a key part of CARES Sustainable Constructional Steels certification and our work with the steel industry and with construction stakeholders."

"Understanding existing work in responsible recycling is important to reduce duplicative efforts and a roundtable approach from interested parties will lead to a shared understanding of the landscape. The LME’s sustainability strategy relies on the transition to a more circular economy and the RRRM is a small way we feel we can make progress in this direction."

"In line with our WRF mission, at the RRRM Roundtable we expect to shed light on inclusive and sustainable secondary metals recovery."

"The Copper Mark works to promote responsible practices in the production, sourcing, and recycling of metals. We are fully aligned with the objective of the Roundtable for Responsible Recycling of Minerals and Metals to ensure circular economies rely on recycled minerals and metals that do not harm people or the environment. Building a strong coalition of interested parties will help us reduce duplication, drive efficiencies among existing initiatives and build a shared understanding of expectations for the responsible production and sourcing of recycled metals."

"Wieland is committed to working with the roundtable on Responsible Recycling of Metals, alongside our partners throughout the value chain, to drive industry-wide consensus on best practices, processes and implementation steps that enable us to accelerate sustainability and circular economy in metals and to be responsible stewards of the Earth’s mineral resources."

"The World Gold Council is committed to supporting enhanced transparency across the gold value chain, including greater clarity and consistency in defining and monitoring the role of secondary material and recycled gold as a significant aspect of supply. We very much hope our participation in the Roundtable on the Responsible Recycling of Metals will contribute to further progress in ensuring circular metal flows form part of a responsible and sustainable gold market."

"The Sustainable Shipping Initiative (SSI) is pleased to be a part of the Roundtable on Responsible Recycling of Metals. The maritime sector is reliant on steel as a consumer, which makes up over 70% of a vessel. At the same time, it is a key source of scrap at end of life. As we work toward a more sustainable shipping sector, addressing the challenge of steel across the ship lifecycle is critical, and we look forward to collaborating and sharing learnings through the Roundtable."

"We are enthusiastic about our involvement in the RRRM, which offers us a valuable opportunity that offers the South African Community of Practice: Waste to Value a valuable opportunity to engage globally. The roundtable presents an exciting avenue for fostering research initiatives aimed at establishing conscientious and sustainable metal recycling systems. Through informal integration of efforts, we aim to harmonize our practices with the best standards in socio-legal, technical, and environmental domains. In joining this roundtable, we anticipate forging connections with essential stakeholders, including key producers and councils from around the world. By actively participating, we aspire to contribute a unique Southern African perspective to the intricate challenges inherent in the recycling value chain. Our insights will help shed light on the complexities and intricacies specific to our region. By leveraging this platform, we intend to work towards the advancement of a responsible and equitable circular economy. We recognize the significance of aligning recycling practices with principles of sustainability and justice, and we are eager to contribute meaningfully to the global dialogue on responsible metals recycling."
