Constantin Bittner works at PowerShift on raw materials policy and raw materials transition. He analyses political developments in Germany and the EU and deals with the question of how raw material policy can be made more socially just, ecologically sustainable and less dependent on primary raw material imports.

His work focuses on supply chains, mining standards, the circular economy and the reduction of metal consumption. He combines technical research with political classification and brings perspectives from environmental, human rights and development organizations into debates on raw materials policy.

At PowerShift, Constantin Bittner develops proposals for a raw materials policy that does not consider security of supply in isolation, but aligns it with human rights, environmental standards and long-term resource conservation.
