The growth in human population results in an increasing demand for raw materials. Recycling is a way to reduce the primary raw materials demand, but growing dilution of technology metals in consumer products and continuous shortening of life cycles lead to an increasing demand for such primary raw materials. In addition, the quality of secondary raw materials is lower compared to primary mining products. However, in circular resources chemistry, the raw materials are processed independent from their source, i.e., it does not matter if they come from mining, recycling, or renewable resources, and they always have primary product quality.

原料基地的未来保障

人口的增长导致对原材料的需求增加。回收是减少主要原材料需求的一种方法，但是消费类产品中技术金属的稀释度不断增加以及生命周期的不断缩短，导致对此类主要原材料的需求增加。此外，与初级采矿产品相比，次级原材料的质量较低。但是，在循环资源化学中，原材料的加工与原材料的来源无关，也就是说，原材料来自采矿，回收利用还是可再生资源都没有关系，它们始终具有主要的产品质量。
