What will it take to recover more critical materials when demand is
growing and recovery systems aren’t keeping up? With the growing
deployment of solar panels, wind turbines, electric vehicles, and
data centers, demand for metals and minerals is rising fast. But
current systems for recovering and reusing these materials are
limited, inefficient, or missing entirely. In this episode, Aly
Bryan, Senior Member of the investment team at Closed Loop
Partners’ Venture Group, explains why critical materials have
become a central topic in the circular economy. She introduces the
concepts of small-loop and large-loop circularity, discusses the
role of modular recovery infrastructure, and shares why relying on
large, centralized processing facilities may no longer be the most
effective approach. Aly also explores how circular startups can
work within existing supply chains and why reverse logistics is
essential to making recovery work at scale. This episode is part of
VC for Circularity - the Venture Capital Perspective on Circular
Economy Startups.
