    Hi all,

    I've been doing a lot of reading on the graphite space and the issue relating to how "dirty" natural graphite mining is appears to be gathering momentum which is a serious concern I would think for the sector and I couldn't see being great for farming in Tanzania.

    I've attached a link from the Washington Post :

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/busi...c22ef6-7b7c-11e6-bd86-b7bbd53d2b5d_story.html

    Apple's comments were the most startling :

    "An Apple spokesman said that for its current products, the company has switched to synthetic graphite, which is not mined. The company declined to say when it made this change to rely exclusively on synthetic graphite."

    What potential impact could this have on the sector?
