Gavin Co-authors Environmental Law Review Paper on UK Critical Minerals Strategy

A paper co-authored by Gavin with Aleksandra Cavoski, Jyoti Ahuja and David Peck has been published in the Environmental Law Review, following an earlier pre-print. It argues that the UK's critical minerals strategy needs to look beyond increasing primary supply and new mining, towards better stewardship of the secondary mineral resources already contained in a range of products.

The authors also conclude that an enabling regulatory environment for procuring key technology metals will be central to addressing future supply threats for the UK, particularly after Brexit, and that failing to provide one would put the country at significant risk of falling behind in the global race to secure supplies.
