SUMMARY:Critical Raw Materials for Defence: Online Snack Series - Session 11
DESCRIPTION:The recent Critical Raw Materials for Defence Report we published\, outlines a proposed framework for enhancing Critical Raw Materials resilience in the UK Defence sector through circular economy principles and recycling. Our aim was to contribute to the development of the UK’s industrial strategy and ensure Defence has a strong voice in this important area. As the financial settlement process moves forward\, we’re keen to keep the conversation active. \nJoin us for the Snack Series—a rapid-fire set of expert-led sessions that dive into the most urgent challenges and strategic opportunities across the UK’s critical materials ecosystem. \nFrom policy to platforms\, e-waste to innovation funding\, this series brings together voices across government\, industry\, and academia to shape a more circular\, resilient\, and sovereign defence future. \nWhy Attend?• Get insights into policy\, innovation\, and supply chain resilience• Hear from leaders shaping the future of defence and critical materials• Connect across disciplines—from recyclers and researchers to strategists and policymakers \nEach session features a 20-minute presentation from leading organisations\, followed by a 40-minute panel Q&A. Sessions will explore:• Global supply chain risks• UK capability and innovation• Priority Defence use cases \nContent will focus on real insights and lessons—not sales pitches—with case studies encouraged. No prior defence knowledge required; many challenges are cross-sector. \nWhy It MattersNew mining is costly\, slow\, and environmentally challenging. Reclaiming materials from end-of-life equipment could offer a faster\, cheaper\, and greener path. Let’s mine our waste—not the planet. \nGet Involved \nJoin the conversation. Shape the future. Spread the word. \nWant to stay informed or take part? Sign up now to receive invites and materials \nBy signing up you will receive diary invites to these sessions and will also receive invites to any subsequent workstreams/presentations. \nIf you would like further information please contact steve.green@teamdefence.info \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\nRegister here

SUMMARY:Critical Raw Materials for Defence: Online Snack Series - Session 1
DESCRIPTION:The recent Critical Raw Materials for Defence Report we published\, outlines a proposed framework for enhancing Critical Raw Materials resilience in the UK Defence sector through circular economy principles and recycling. Our aim was to contribute to the development of the UK’s industrial strategy and ensure Defence has a strong voice in this important area. As the financial settlement process moves forward\, we’re keen to keep the conversation active. \nJoin us for the Snack Series—a rapid-fire set of expert-led sessions that dive into the most urgent challenges and strategic opportunities across the UK’s critical materials ecosystem. \nFrom policy to platforms\, e-waste to innovation funding\, this series brings together voices across government\, industry\, and academia to shape a more circular\, resilient\, and sovereign defence future. \nWhy Attend?• Get insights into policy\, innovation\, and supply chain resilience• Hear from leaders shaping the future of defence and critical materials• Connect across disciplines—from recyclers and researchers to strategists and policymakers \nEach session features a 20-minute presentation from leading organisations\, followed by a 40-minute panel Q&A. Sessions will explore:• Global supply chain risks• UK capability and innovation• Priority Defence use cases \nContent will focus on real insights and lessons—not sales pitches—with case studies encouraged.

SUMMARY:Securing Critical Raw Materials (CRM) and Rare Earth Elements (REE) for UK Defence - Industry Outbrief
DESCRIPTION:(Date and Agenda subject to change) \nFormat: Online only via MS Teams \nContext:  Establishing a UK-based recovery and reclamation capability for rare earth metals and minerals offers significant economic\, environmental\, and strategic benefits. \nAims & Objectives: Out-brief: This Quick Look Task examines how the Defence sector can mitigate CRM supply chain risks by harvesting rare earth elements from end-of-life platforms and establishing sovereign UK recovery capabilities. \nThe objective is to develop a decision-making framework applicable across capabilities\, platforms\, sub-systems\, and components to: \n\nProvide a demand signal to industry and guide investment decisions in UK recovery and reclamation infrastructure.\nInform the development of autonomous recovery technologies.\nInfluence design and supportability analysis to incorporate metal and mineral reclamation.\n\nWho should be attending: Leaders in sustainability and circularity\, requirement setters\, design engineers\, supportability analysts\, specialist recycling companies. \nAgenda \n\nWelcome to site and admin (Jenny – Mott Mac)\nIntro and Agenda (Michelle- BAESystems)\nDefence Circular Economics Context (Sarah – Defence Support)\nTask Aims and Objectives (Michael – Babcock)\nFramework Assessing CRM/REE Risk and harvesting opportunity (Emily – BAE Systems)\nFramework Sovereign CRM/REE reclamation capability and priority areas for investment (Fred- DESCycle)\nConclusions and Recommendations (Georgie – Babcock)\nPanel Q&A (Chaired by Michelle BAESystems)\nClose (Sarah – Def Support)\n\nSupporting Documentation (Presentation Material etc.):  Presentation material will be shared post event\, finalised report will be circulated in early April\,  Circular Economic Concept Note on .gov.uk now \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				Click here to register
