European Metals brings together the companies and associations shaping Europe’s non-ferrous metals ecosystem: from upstream mining and refining to downstream use and high-quality recycling.
We represent a sector that is essential to Europe’s future.
European Metals envisages a revitalised, future-ready Europe, reinforced by a secure, sustainable and resource-efficient metals value chain.
By championing circular, sustainable operations and enabling strategic autonomy and sovereignty, we put non-ferrous metals at the heart of Europe’s green and digital transformations.
We connect technical expertise with policy action, ensuring that the importance of the metals sector is recognised, valued, and that our sector’s future is secured.
We work to remove systemic barriers to recycling, encourage better product design, and promote investment in infrastructure.
Non-ferrous metals are the invisible infrastructure of Europe’s economy. They power renewable energy systems, digital networks, advanced defence technologies and more. We help ensure that Europe has the regulatory and industrial conditions needed to secure its own supply of these materials.
Our work is deeply technical and highly strategic. We translate the expertise of our members into credible, science-based advocacy that influences how policies are shaped, from raw materials access to product regulation, climate legislation to trade rules.
We support solutions that reduce dependency, waste, and emissions – while increasing value for the EU economy. That means championing a truly circular metals system and ensuring Europe’s metals sector remains resilient to global shocks.
European Metals serves as a hub for a diverse and evolving membership. Our strength lies in bringing together producers, recyclers, processors, and users of non-ferrous metals to speak with clarity and ambition.
In a rapidly changing global context, the role of materials has never been more strategic. Our work protects today’s operations and shapes tomorrow’s opportunities. European Metals is building the conditions for a cleaner, more competitive and more self-reliant Europe.
