Nickel and nickel compounds are key enablers for technologies that will be critical in tackling the pressing future challenges such as climate change, public health, water scarcity or food safety. The performance, durability and recyclability of nickel-containing materials mean that they can positively contribute to sustainability. At the same time, any potential health or environmental impacts should be measured, understood and managed.
The nickel industry seeks a regulatory framework that is consistent and predictable, one which is based on science, takes a full lifecycle perspective and an extended impact assessment approach.
