Global Landfill Mining

Welcome to Global Landfill-Mining.co.uk, your online portal for all things landfill related

Landfills have previously been seen as just a destination at the end of a one-way street. Landfills are now being seen as useful repositories for a wide variety of resources, including base metals, precious metals, construction materials and waste-derived fuels. The technical barriers for their recovery have been surmounted and with ballooning commodity prices, the economic argument for their use is won. In some cases the remaining barriers will be legislative or regulatory. Landfill mining is economically undertaken in a number of countries around the world: Global Landfill Mining can help you to make your landfill mining plans a success.
