To mine or not to mine our 500,000+ landfills in Europe… that was the question that 15 PhD students explored during the past 4 years within the Horizon 2020 MSCA European Training Network for Resource Recovery through Enhanced Landfill Mining (NEW-MINE). In this final...
In March 2015 the Journal of Sustainable Metallurgy launched its first issue. Now, just more than 5 years later, this TMS Journal obtained its first official Impact Factor. With a score of 2,109, the journal ranks second among TMS journals for 2019. The future for...
After four years of intensive interdisciplinary research, the EU Horizon 2020 MSCA-ETN NEW-MINE project team developed and integrated cutting-edge, eco-friendly Enhanced Landfill Mining (ELFM) technologies to valorise Europe’s 500,000+ landfills. Their groundbreaking...
The transition towards a climate neutral economy, as proposed by the European Green Deal, is highly resource intensive. Many challenges lie ahead to materialise this Green Deal. A broad cluster of EU Horizon 2020 projects, combined with several projects funded by...
In the SAMEX project ArcelorMittal, Tecnalia and KU Leuven are upscaling an ammoniacal leaching-based flowsheet to remove and recover zinc from fine BOF steelmaking sludge, so that the residual sludge can be internally recycled to the Blast Furnace, via the sinter...
EURELCO is an open, quadruple helix network that supports the required technological, legal, social, economic, environmental and organisational innovation with respect to the development and implementation of a Dynamic Landfill Management (DLM) framework. The DLM framework includes resource recovery-driven Enhanced Landfill Mining (ELFM) as one of its most advanced components, thereby supporting the transition to a resource efficient, circular, low-carbon economy. Are you a relevant actor working on DLM or ELFM?
