The reality of a Congolese or Peruvian minor may seem very far from our daily life in Belgium. And yet! Without us always being aware of it, we come into contact every day with numerous minerals that come from these countries. The minerals are mined in regions such as eastern DR Congo and then exported in their raw form. They then arrive here in Europe in transformed form in most of our consumer items: computers, smartphones, cars, but also coffee machines, vacuum cleaners, refrigerators, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
