The Act lists 34 materials the bloc deems “critical”, of which 17 are prioritised as “strategic”, including lithium, graphite, nickel, cobalt, copper, and rare earth elements.
It also sets ambitious targets for the EU to extract 10%, process 40% and recycle 25% of its annual consumption of strategic raw materials by 2030.
