Non-ferrous Metals Manufacturing: Vision for 2050 and Actions Needed
Excerpt from report:
“The objectives of this foresight study are twofold. First, it aims at defining a long-term vision for the non- ferrous metals manufacturing industry: it proposes indeed an aspirational, achievable and clear view of where the sector aims to be in 2050. Second, the goal is to propose concrete actions that the industry itself, but also policy, research and other stakeholders can take to address the challenges faced by the sector on its path towards the vision. Special attention was given to aspects related to advanced manufacturing techniques.”
