Critical minerals listed in the US critical minerals list and their occurance in Türkiye. Bold type items are rare earth minerals. 24 out of 50 critical elements occur in Türkiye. However their abundance or economical viability of their extraction are still questionable and information about this is not made public. Usage information is not very accurate. Last column is the percentage imported by the US.

I think it is related to the scale of operations for one, if your industry is as big as China's serving the entire world you make a big environmental impact. If you are going with a relatively modest capacity your impact is more tolerable. Environmental impact is mostly measured by the carbon footprint, if you will be using electric power from renewable sources you can minimize the cost to the environment to possibly zero.

There are ups and downs to every decision you make and every path you chose. The bottomline is you need to be profitable and also sustainable.
