Critical materials recovery advisory task force meeting

The critical materials recovery advisory task force includes 15 individuals to advise the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency on policy and program opportunities that would increase the recovery of critical materials — including aluminum, cobalt, copper, nickel, and silicon — from end-of-life products.
