Waste Connect is active in the remediation of used-to-capacity landfills. We manage projects for Landfill Mining to recover secondary raw materials and restore the affected areas.

Landfill Mining (LFM) is defined as “the safe exploration, conditioning, excavation and integrated valorisation of (historic, present and/or future) landfilled waste streams as both materials (Waste-to-Material) and energy (Waste-to-Energy), using innovative transformation technologies and respecting the most stringent social and ecological criteria.” LFM is part of a wider view of a circular economy and is perfectly complementary to urban mining and recycling in general.

Furthermore, Waste Connect looks after potential EU funds in order to support projects of this type.
