LANDFILL MINING CONFERENCE 2017

We are updating the review of the event, sorry for the inconveniences!

On the 18th/19th of October we have celebrated in Barcelona the international conference on Landfill Mining with a great success of public and relevant experiences presented. In light of the development of the new concept of Enhanced Landfill Mining ELFM (further information available here), the conference addressed a variety of relevant topics related to the main theme. It also included specific questions about what are the main aspects to consider in landfill mining assessment and the importance of a landfill mining market. Among the many issues raised, the role of Government in addressing a successful landfill mining project had an important role. A document with the conference conclusions is now available here
