Landfill Mining:
tailoring the best possible solution
based on project drivers and goals
Should I stay or should I go?
A huge number of landfills, having a wide variety in age, size,
composition and design & operational standards
LFM vs ELFM
Classic LFM
Enhanced
LFM
LFM vs ELFM
Most appropriate landfill mining solution for USW landfills to be
tailored based on project driver(s) and objectives
Option A:
“Classic” Landfill Mining (LFM)
Drive: Resolve environmental problem and/or reclaim land for redevelopment
Duration: Few months to 2 years (
FAST
solution)
Equipment: Mainly mobile installations
Ambition level of resource recuperation: secondary focus
Option B:
“Enhanced” Landfill Mining (ELFM)
Drive: Maximize potential of materials, energy and land recuperation
Duration: 10 to 25 years (
TAILORED
solution)
Equipment: Mainly stationary installations
Ambition level of resource recuperation: primary focus
Classic Landfill Mining (LFM)
Towards a sustainable economical
model for ELFM projects
ELFM – Innovative upcycling technologies and products
Social license to operate
ELFM
2 :
Manage while awaiting mining
Landfills: asset management
Large number of existing landfills calls for an integrated approach
State-of-the-art landfills still required today to allow for recycling to
further develop
Many different but often complementary solutions are available:
Classic or Enhanced Landfill Mining
Production of renewable energy
Creation of biodiversity
Reclamation of land
Giving back value to the community (e.g. recreational development)
No “choosing is losing”: many solutions are complementary
Manage landfills as valuable assets
Landfill mining offers tailored solutions based on project drivers and goals, with options like Classic Landfill Mining (LFM) and Enhanced Landfill Mining (ELFM). ELFM aims to maximize resource recuperation over a longer period using stationary installations, while LFM focuses on resolving environmental issues quickly with mobile equipment. The approach involves managing existing landfills efficiently to promote sustainable practices and address environmental concerns.
