DIRECTION OF ENERGY FLOW EXPLORATION MINING EXTRACTION "M'NiNG ENGlN^ Fig. 3 Cycle of nonenergy materials in industrial society (inspired by a sketch by A. G. Chynoweth). society—a strong multiplier effect on this quantity gradually upgrades it until it represents a major fraction of all the goods and services utilized. Finally the products, through various uses, deteriorate and become waste. This waste then either becomes pollution, returning to or into the earth, or is recycled, bypassing the raw-materials bottleneck and going back through the system again. One big opportunity for improvement is in recycling, but remember that the quantities needed are doubling every few decades or less because of exponential growth of consumption. Therefore, even if everything is recycled, it is still necessary to show at least as much new primary production for every doubling period. The effects of some of those exponentially growing demands can be seen in Figs. 4 to 6. Figure 4 shows global reserves of selected critical raw materials compared with demand expected to the end of the century.
