Focus Area 1B – Assessing use potential MCM waste

This focus area aims to enable assessment of the potential for circulating UK mineral wastes as valuable anthropogenic resources with those needed for service in place of virgin MCMs.

Description

Information collected about wastes for waste management administration is typically related to their disposal rather than recovery.

Dr Leonel Tchadjie, research fellow at UCL, is investigating the information that should be collected about mineral wastes, to help potential users assess their use potential, with a case study for glass.
