Humanium Metal

A ForeverSpin spinning top made of Humanium Metal

Humanium Metal is a brand of metal made by melting down illegal firearms seized in conflict zones. The creation and distribution of this metal is done through a marketing campaign called "The Humanium Metal Initiative", started in 2016 by Swedish nonprofit organization IM Swedish Development Partner. The stated objective of the program is to draw attention to issues of gun violence and contribute toward the ending of illegal firearms trade. Humanium Metal is used for the creation of non-lethal commodities, such as wristwatches, buttons, and spinning tops, with proceeds returning to violence prevention efforts and support for gun-violence survivors in the areas from which the firearms were seized.
