This includes annual data on sales, permissions and mineral reserves in their area, and data on recycled and secondary sources.\nFor this system to work and to produce the objectives stated above, it needs to be underpinned by robust and technically competent secretariat support, which is funded by the Government.\nFull details can be found in the PME document that can be requested via email.",
