About Us
The CRM Alliance has been created by industry to advocate the importance of CRMs for the European economy and to promote a strong European CRM policy. It is the representative body of primary producers, traders and associations of CRMs. As an observer in important European Commission stakeholder groups, such as the Raw Materials Supply Group and the Ad-Hoc Working Group on Defining CRMs, as well as a participant in Civil Society Dialogues and events organised by the European Institutions, we promote as well as defend the collective interests of the CRM industry.
Critical Raw Materials
Critical Raw Materials have become the building blocks of our modern society. They are used in a wide range of commercial, governmental, and life-saving technologies and applications: telecommunications, space exploration, aerial imaging, aviation, medical devices, micro-electronics, transportation, defence, green technology and other high-technology products and services. They also hold the key to many future applications and will move ideas from the research laboratory to products in commerce.
Events
In order to promote the importance of critical raw materials to policy-makers, the CRM Alliance organizes bi-annual political luncheon events to discuss the main issues affecting the CRM industry: from the impact of EU policies and regulations, such as REACH, to the review of the critical raw materials list. It is at these events our members express, both individually and collectively, their concerns directly to European and international policy-makers.
