Landfill as raw material storage

Rising raw material prices, geopolitical uncertainties and growing ESG pressure are changing the rules of the waste management industry. Landfills are increasingly in focus - not only as a cost factor and liability risk, but also as a potential raw material storage. In the study "Moving waste storage towards a circular economy: barriers and opportunities", British scientists have developed the ASPIRE concept, an approach that uses industrial and mineral waste in a targeted manner for later value creation. The study was published in the "Journal of Environmental Management".
