Technological disruption leads to new recycling methods or substitutes for traditional metals.
If recycling becomes more effective, it reduces the necessity to mine new metals, thereby lowering prices and profits in the mining industry.
0.37 The risk score reflects the potential for technological disruptions to introduce new recycling methods or substitutes that could reduce demand for traditional metals, thereby undermining the thesis's assumption of rising metal prices due to inflation and AI data center build-out.
Advancements in technology can introduce new methods of recycling metals and creating substitute materials that reduce the need for fresh mining. This would decrease demand for raw metal extraction by companies like RIO and FCX. The mechanism involves technological innovations making recycling more efficient or substituting traditional metals with synthetic alternatives.
