The EIT KIC RM wants to improve materials management, and by this, competitiveness in Europe. Surprisingly, there is not yet a good information service that maps the flows and stocks of materials – information that should be the basis of any type of materials management. Our project proposes to create such a service, well aligned with the EU DG JRC’s Raw Materials Information Service (RMIS). We will use the experience gathered in a large number of underlying EU funded projects. Our team consists of the most prominent players from such projects. We will comply with the UN System of Economic and Environmental Accounts (SEEA) and INSPIRE. This will link information about materials to standard economic accounting, which in turn helps authorities, investors, and firms to assess how sound materials management will support economic performance and jobs. It will complement the EU’s RMIS. It will help industrial firms and associations to understand supply chain vulnerabilities. It will help to understand the ‘urban mine’ – what volumes of secondary materials are where, in what volumes, and what does this mean for an optimal economies of scale for their exploitation? Sustainability after the project can be guaranteed by offering the database for sale or a pay-per view system. Alternatively it can be offered as a ‘public service’ similar to data of statistical offices and geological surveys via JRC’s RMIS, the EIT RM Infocenter, or European Geological Data Infrastructure (EGDI) supported by the ERA NET GeoERA (http://geoera.eu/).
