NVOX noticed the 7th edition of Binas because material impact received a visible place in the reference book. That is more than a publication milestone. It shows that environmental data on metals, scarcity and climate impact have become relevant enough to be discussed in regular science education.
For New Economy, this is valuable because it connects research, education and societal transitions. Students encounter the question of which materials are needed for the energy transition, how scarce they are and what environmental costs are linked to extraction and production.
