China’s low prices have historically undercut global prices and pushed out foreign competitors –– such as the Mountain Pass mine in California, which closed in 2002. Lack of standardised sustainability reporting makes it difficult to compare sustainability performance between source mines, set sustainability targets and reward best practice. In other words you cannot physically differentiate a sustainably sourced REE from a non-sustainably sourced REE without the use of tagging.
