The Future of Engineering Biology for sustainable critical metal bioprocessing; from bioleaching to biorecovery and bioremediation | 7th October 2026 | London

Join Elemental on Wednesday 7 Oct 2026 at the Natural History Museum, London, to explore engineering biology for sustainable metal recovery and bioremediation.

Event overview

The event will bring together leaders and experts from across industry, academia, government, and strategic organisations to explore how engineering biology can support the sustainable extraction of critical and strategic metals from ores, industrial wastes, and wastewaters. As demand continues to grow, innovative biological solutions are emerging with the potential to improve efficiencies, reduce environmental impact, and strengthen resource resilience.

Designed to encourage collaboration and knowledge exchange, the event will provide a platform for researchers, industry representatives, policymakers, and funding and strategic bodies to share insights, discuss challenges, and identify opportunities for future partnership.

Throughout the day, attendees will hear from experts working at the forefront of engineering biology and environmental metal processing, while taking part in discussions that address both current developments and future opportunities for the sector.

The event will  support stronger connections across disciplines and sectors, helping to accelerate the translation of research and innovation into practical solutions for sustainable metal bioleaching, biorecovery and bioprocessing.
