South Korea plans to support the critical minerals recycling industry to lower supply chain risks amid global trade uncertainties, Yonhap News reported Friday, citing acting president Choi Sang-mok.
The government will explore measures to establish an industrial cluster and ecosystem for recycling firms, the report said.
This follows a $37.5 billion investment plan announced in December 2024 to cut reliance on key mineral imports, targeting a reduction to 50% from 70% by 2030, the report said.
