Circular Economy Practices in Waste Rock and Tailings Management
The mining industry generates substantial volumes of waste rock and tailings as byproducts of mineral extraction and processing. Circular economy practices transform these waste streams from environmental liabilities into valuable resources through reprocessing, mineral recovery, and repurposing for construction and industrial applications. Advanced technological approaches including tailings reprocessing, mineral recovery from waste, and waste material utilization in construction reduce overall environmental footprint while generating significant economic value. Implementation of mining waste circular recycling strategies enables mining companies to reduce operational costs, improve sustainability metrics, and operate within the principles of a circular economy.
