Improving Circularity in Queensland’s New Economy Minerals
This project aims to demonstrate how circular economy principles can be applied in Queensland's mining industry to produce energy transition minerals. While circularity is still in its infancy in mining, the project team plan to take the lead in developing the concept by comprehensively assessing the implications of innovative approaches to reduce waste generation at the source and increase resource value through the transformation of silicates into valuable materials such as construction or industrial sand (i.e., ore-sand).
