Byproduct-to-host ratios for assessing the accessibility of mineral resources

This repository contains the supplementary information files of the article "Byproduct-to-host ratios for assessing the accessibility of mineral resources", published in the journal Environmental Sciences & Technology. This version of SI files is more documented than the previous one and with reference added to the article.

"SI_1_BtH_ratios_v0.1.xlsx" contains both input data and results of the article

"SI_2_Historic_prices.xlsx" contains the historical market price of mineral resources covered in the study

"SI_3_Representavity_dataset.xlsx" containts the dataset required to evaluate the representativity of the dataset with regards to alternative estimates in the literature

"SI_4_RR_LitReview.xlsx" show the data collected during the literature review of minerals recovery rates along global supply chains

"SI_5_Production_2021.xlsx" provides the primary production of minerals in 2021

"SI_6_Host_byproduct_Greffe2024.docx" provides additional information on the methodology and data collection

"SI_7_Representativity_results.xlsx" contains the output results of the representativity check, using data from supporting information 1 and supporting information 3

BtH ratios are obtained using "ResC" data in "SI_1_BtH_ratios_v0.1.xlsx" and using the byproduct_host_ratio python class available at: https://github.com/TitouanGreffe/BtH_ratios
