## Description

To create a data pooling network\(with a supporting data trust governance framework\) to pool relevant data, to test and evaluate 'proof of value' for individual partners, and serve as a foundation for scaling up Government support for future CE value chains\. To initiate a consortium of commercial, academic, government and public entities with interest in the post-use recovery, re-use and recycling of REE PM from EV1 and wind energy application\. The overarching value proposition is that creating a data pooling network for post-use REE PM will enable the UK to optimise the recovery, re-use and recycling of these components, and support growth of a circular economy that reduces supply chain risks associated with current imports\.
