Without a proper energy source, 3 trillion people will have a problem to make the food, but they still will have no big problems with alluminium, silica, water, iron, plastic. | |

This happens from the tungsten in our lights to the rare earths in our smart phones. Unless 100% of the smart phones are recycled there will be loss. Also, 6.5 billion people require a smart phone now, but it will be 3 trillion in 500 years. Nothing is 100% efficient. | |
