Many countries face serious strategic challenges with the future supply of both aggregates and critical elements. Yet, at same time, they must sustainably manage continued multimillion tonne annual arisings mineral-dominated wastes from mining industry.

As world population and industrialization increase, the consequence has been an increase in waste generation. In attempt to curb this recover value from streams, European Union (EU) UK have introduced a wide range of legislation, focusing large extent on biodegradable component municipal solid (MSW). Although by no means largest total generated, it is significant contributor greenhouse gas emissions if left unmanaged. Strict targets for its diversion landfill set these will become...
