Euronews-Futurus has released a new documentary video on the topic of Enhanced Landfill Mining.
Some half a million landfills are scattered around Europe, waiting to be mined, in what researchers say would be a win-win situation for both the economy and the environment. Once sorted, landfill material can be recycled using sophisticated chemical processes.
It is a huge ecological challenge and might also be a an economic opportunity. European scientists are digging deep in search for answers wether all the plastic and metal can be mined and recycled in efficient, sustainable ways. What is rubbish for most people, waste is seen as a treasure trove to scientists and waste managers.
