The Raw Materials Information System: Supporting Sustainable Resource Management in the EU

The Raw Materials Information System (RMIS) is a digital platform developed by the European Commission to provide comprehensive data on raw materials within the EU. It centralises information on exploration, extraction, processing, trade, and recycling, supporting better decision-making across sectors.

Key Features of RMIS:

  • Data Repository: RMIS gathers data from various sources, covering metals, minerals, fossil fuels, and renewable resources.
  • Analytical Tools: Users can explore trends and correlations within the raw materials sector to make informed decisions.
  • Policy Support: RMIS aids the implementation of EU policies like the European Raw Materials Initiative and Circular Economy Action Plan.
  • Stakeholder Engagement: It facilitates collaboration and knowledge exchange among industry leaders, research institutions, and policymakers.

RMIS and the I4-GREEN Project:

The I4-GREEN project focuses on driving green innovation in the EU, aiming to reduce dependence on imported critical raw materials and minimise environmental impacts. The RMIS supports I4-GREEN by providing essential data for assessing sustainability, enhancing decision-making, and aligning with EU policies on resource management.
