The EU's Critical Raw Materials Act is in force, and it doesn't operate in isolation. Across 18 EU regulations and 8 global jurisdictions, new requirements for sourcing, traceability, due diligence, and recycled content are converging on the same materials. If your products contain lithium, cobalt, rare earths, or any of the EU's 34 designated critical raw materials, this guide maps the regulatory landscape you're operating in.

Inside, you'll find the CRM Act's binding 2030 benchmarks, a breakdown of every connected EU regulation (from the Battery Regulation and ESPR to CBAM and the Conflict Minerals Regulation), over EUR 100 billion in EU funding mechanisms, and the global policies reshaping CRM supply chains from China to Australia. It's built as an orientation document: the full picture in one place, so you can see which regulations apply, where they overlap, and what's coming next.
