Assess the criticality of your raw materials
The raw materials criticality assessment identifies key materials and critical supply risks to optimise your value chain.
Our expertise in analysing the criticality of your raw materials
Companies that depend on mineral resources and metals for their products and services can face a variety of risks throughout their value chain. These risks may arise from geological, geopolitical, economic, technical, social or environmental factors .
We offer a study of the criticality of raw materials specific to your company. This assessment helps identify the critical points in the value chain that may lead to supply disruptions, price fluctuations, or risks related to environmental and social regulations. Our experts also assist you in developing strategies to mitigate these risks.
Why conduct a criticality assessment?
To understand critical materials and the constantly evolving environmental and social requirements.
Predict price fluctuations and manage budgets more effectively.
To anticipate the risk of shortages that could disrupt production.
To implement strategies to secure supply chains and protect the business.

WeLOOP partners with the IRTC project
WeLOOP is a partner of the IRTC project, established in 2018 and funded by EIT RawMaterials.
The International Round Table on Materials Criticality is composed of leading international experts in material criticality who discuss various perspectives and requirements of criticality assessments, the impacts of criticality, and ways to mitigate it. The project bridges academic expertise, industrial practice, and policy development, and engages with stakeholders worldwide.
ACV et Criticité : Compatibles ?
Dans un article publié en 2026 chez Springer dans le livre « Life Cycle Management from Global to Local » avec ScoreLCA, BRGM et l’Université de Bordeaux, nous avons exploré les liens entre Analyse du Cycle de Vie (ACV) et évaluation de la criticité des matières premières. À partir d’études de cas sur les batteries, ce travail met en évidence les complémentarités entre performance environnementale et enjeux d’approvisionnement.
Nos résultats montrent l’intérêt d’une approche croisée pour éclairer la prise de décision, en intégrant à la fois les impacts environnementaux et les risques liés aux ressources. Cet article illustre concrètement comment ces deux cadres peuvent être mobilisés de manière cohérente dans des contextes industriels.
