As we step into the new year, businesses are facing increasing pressure to balance growth with sustainability – we know the road looks different for every organisation and business. Last year, we ran a similar poll in which 'circular economy adoption' won. This resulted in us creating some highly impactful circularity-themed research outputs to share with our network. We are looking to do the same with this year's hot topic, to ensure you are getting the most support from us as you tackle sustainability challenges! Take a moment to vote in our poll and let us know what your business is prioritising in 2025. Your input will help shape the conversations, solutions, and innovations we focus on this year. You can also share your thoughts in the comments! #CircularEconomy #CarbonFootprint #SupplyChain #RegulatoryCompliance

How will we shape 2025? As we step into the new year, we focus on what matters most: empowering businesses to make smarter, more sustainable decisions – in short, enabling a lower environmental impact for long-term growth. In 2025, we anticipate the following key trends shaping our industry: ✧ Aligning with Emerging Regulations Through Advanced Tools ✧ Embracing Circular Economy & Life Cycle Thinking ✧ Aligning Economic & Environmental Performance ✧ Broad Adoption of Next-Generation LCA Tools ✧ Fast-Tracking the Energy Transition with Low-Impact Raw Materials At Minviro, we’re committed to helping organisations embrace these opportunities. Let informed decision-making become second nature in your workflow. Here’s to a year of growth, progress, and transformative change. Happy New Year from your dedicated team at Minviro! #CircularEconomy #EnergyTransition #ImpactReduction #EnvironmentalRegulations

As 2024 comes to a close, we are taking a moment to reflect on the incredible year we’ve had at Minviro — and it’s all thanks to the brilliant, passionate team behind it. This year was filled with growth — not just in what we achieved, but in the talent, creativity, and collaboration that made it all possible. From launching Explore the Elements and moderating global sustainability guidelines to delivering high-quality lifecycle assessments (LCAs) that drive actionable decarbonisation strategies, the impact we’ve made is a testament to the expertise and dedication of our team. We also pushed the boundaries of innovation — advancing our technology, enhancing our databases, and introducing new tools to support businesses in making informed, sustainable choices. Alongside this, we’ve built strong partnerships, explored bold ideas, and opened new doors around the world. To our team at Minviro, all our partners, and everyone we’ve collaborated with this year, thank you for being part of this journey. Here’s to an even more impactful and innovative 2025. Let’s keep building, solving, and making a difference together. #LCA #lifecycleassessment #sustainability #collaboration

We’re proud to have provided third-party attestation for CRU’s methodology in developing aluminium carbon emissions data. CRU’s dataset spans the entire aluminium value chain — from bauxite mining to semi-finished products — empowering industries like automotive, construction, and packaging to improve emissions calculations and meet regulatory demands. Learn more in the post below from CRU.

Reflecting on the highlights of 2024: Minviro’s whitepaper examines the Environmental Impact of Manufacturing Solar Photovoltaics, offering insights into key environmental hotspots in the solar PV supply chain. Using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology, it outlines actionable strategies to reduce embodied carbon and drive sustainability in solar PV manufacturing. Curious to learn more?

Excited to share this critical report launched by Systemiq Ltd. and supported by Minviro (Adriana Merino Zamora, Jordan Lindsay) and partners. As we navigate the clean energy transition, these insights into sustainable raw material production are invaluable. Let’s work together to innovate for Europe’s strategic autonomy and climate goals! The Challenge Europe’s global CRM production share has plummeted from 25% to just 7% in the last 40 years. Meeting the EU’s Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA) 2030 targets for mining, refining, and recycling demands transformative action. The Opportunity The report outlines seven groundbreaking technologies in major commodity supply chains, including: - Primary Sulfide Leaching - Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) - Novel low-carbon graphite routes Adopting these methods could dramatically cut the carbon footprint of EV batteries while ensuring sustainable CRM sourcing. It is, however, important to consider impact categories beyond carbon, which the report summarises succinctly for each major commodity analysed.

We are pleased to announce that Dermot Clancy and Sahin Alacacayir from Minviro is attending the Battery Minerals and Mines Summit (BMMS) in Las Vegas! This globally recognised event, taking place from December 9-12, 2024, focuses on critical battery technologies, supply chains, and materials. At Minviro, we specialise in lifecycle assessment (LCA) for critical raw materials, and we are excited to bring our expertise to conversations about sustainable practices in the battery minerals sector. AABC provides a fantastic opportunity to engage with leading minds in battery development, mining, and material innovation. Are you attending BMMS Vegas? Let’s connect to discuss: - The importance of sustainability in the battery minerals supply chain - Using LCAs to drive impactful, informed decision-making - Collaboration opportunities to reduce environmental impacts across the value chain We’re eager to share ideas, learn from others, and explore new opportunities. Feel free to reach out to Dermot or Sahin directly or contact us here to arrange a meeting. Let’s work together to build a more sustainable battery industry. #AABC #BatteryMinerals #LifeCycleAssessment

As we continue to reflect on the highlights of 2024: Our guide on EU Battery Regulations by Adriana Merino Zamora. Offering a comprehensive guide to the LCA methodology and its critical role in shaping sustainable battery supply chains. This document acts as a guide to understanding the methodology for the calculation and verification of the Carbon Footprint (CF) of electric vehicle batteries, and what the direct impact of the regulation will be on your business. Our guide specifically focuses on the usage of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) for the calculations of a product’s CF, as it has been widely adopted for European regulatory compliance. If you’re part of the battery industry, this guide is a must-read. Download it here: https://lnkd.in/eBD7biZ5 Let’s harness these learnings and drive innovation for a more sustainable 2025 and beyond. #EUBatteryRegulation #LCA #Sustainability
