Landfill Mining: tailoring the best possible solution based on project drivers and goals

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.

1. Landfill Mining: tailoring the best possible solution based on project drivers and goals

2. Should I stay or should I go?

3. A huge number of landfills, having a wide variety in age, size, composition and design & operational standards

4. LFM vs ELFM Classic LFM Enhanced LFM

5. 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

6. Classic Landfill Mining (LFM)

7. Towards a sustainable economical model for ELFM projects

8. ELFM Innovative upcycling technologies and products

9. Social license to operate

10. ELFM2 : Manage while awaiting mining

12. 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
