Material flow analyses were performed taking into account processes along the value chain (separation, manufacture, use, waste management) and including also lithospheric (geologic) stocks. While this paper focuses on fluorescent lamp phosphors (Tb, Eu, Y), a paper by Planchon et al. (this conference) addresses permanent magnets and batteries (Nd, Pr, Dy). Results suggest that given the magnitude of flows in the EU-28, the development of a mining project in Sweden and/or Greenland would contribute significantly to reducing heavy rare earth; e.g. Tb, criticality. %G English %2 https://brgm.hal.science/hal-01019602/document %2 https://brgm.hal.science/hal-01019602/file/ERES2014_ASTER_Tb_BRGM.pdf %L hal-01019602 %U https://brgm.hal.science/hal-01019602 %~ SDE %~ BRGM %~ GIP-BE %~ BRGM-DO
