MITF – Metal Information

MITF – Metal Information is a forum for metallurgical issues. Its purpose is to improve understanding concerning metals and their impact on the environment.

Forskningspolitik

All branches of the metallurgy sector are able to work together within MITF:

  • Jernkontoret
  • Scandinavian Copper Development Association (SCDA)
  • Nordic Galvanizers
  • Svemin
  • IKEM, Innovations- och kemiindustrierna i Sverige

MITF’s goal is to increase understanding of metals and their environmental effect. A strategically important part of the work is to build trusting relationships with authorities, politicians, companies and other interested parties.

MITF works also on disseminating the correct terminology concerning metals. A good example of this is the definition of the term “heavy metal” which intrinsically has no connection to its dangerousness or environmental properties. It merely specifies that a metal has a high density (>4.5 g/cm3) and that most metals are indeed heavy.

The collaboration between interested parties takes place in project form (on behalf of specified goals).
