Update of the Nickel Stock and Flow Model

The Nickel Institute agreed with Professor Tom Graedel from the Center for Industrial Ecology at the Yale University (US) on updating the nickel stock and flow models. Existing models cover the stocks and flows of nickel for the reference years 2000 and 2005. In view of the growing importance of emerging economies for nickel such as China and India, the update will provide industry with an updated picture of nickel flows, the stock building of nickel containing products while being used, and the end of life management of nickel containing waste products. Similar to the 2000 and 2005 models, the data will be displayed on both a global as well as a regional scale.
