Abstract

The management and classification of secondary resources represents an important step forward in promoting enhanced circularity. The reduction of knowledge gaps in mining waste characterisation, its inventorying and the development of appropriate waste classification schemes are treated in this contribution.

These actions support circularity in mining practice. The objective is to provide a research tool/portfolio for the advancement and conceptualisation of the more sustainable handling of natural resources in the Nordic countries. This includes investigating attitudes and community perceptions regarding the potential exploitation of mining waste as a secondary resource.
