LISTEN: Sandvik Unveils “eNimon” to Highlight the Critical Role of Sustainable Mining

Swedish engineering company Sandvik says the global transition to sustainability faces a major challenge: while technologies such as electric vehicles, wind turbines, and solar panels depend on “clean” minerals, the demand for materials like copper, nickel, and lithium is rapidly outpacing supply.

To draw attention to the source of these essential resources, Sandvik has introduced the eNimon, or Nomine car. More than 90 percent of an average EV’s components originate from mined materials, but the eNimon is built entirely without metal or minerals—if you didn’t catch it eNimon is “no mine” spelled backwards.
