The Ripple explored the big topic of recycling metals like steel, copper, and aluminum.

Folks from around the world came together to swap ideas, share real-world challenges, and toss around possible fixes. From business leaders to engineers, everyone agreed this isn’t a simple problem.

Here’s what the group took away:

- Getting metals recycled is tricky because of complex value chains and different metal grades.

- Money matters more than law when it comes to driving recycling — companies care most about value.

- Bringing together producers, recyclers, and designers could help everyone make smarter choices.

- There’s no single answer; new tech, better business models, and even community programs all matter.

- Sorting metals right from the start and designing things for recycling will make a huge difference.

All in all, the Ripple showed that teamwork and creative thinking are at the heart of making metal recycling work for business and the planet.
