The circular economy as a
business opportunity: from urban to landfill mining
Dr. Ir. Peter Tom Jones (IOF Research Manager KU
Leuven, SIM² & President i-Cleantech Vlaanderen vzw)
NAMUR, 18/9/2015
Climate change, the mother of all problems
First the bad news: About the linear economy and
the vulnerable position of EU-28

Raw material supply faces major challenges:
“Europe, the poorest continent in the world”
18-9-2015 Urban/Landfill Mining (Jones) 3
Raw material supply faces major challenges:
ore quality continuously declining (EC, 2014)
18-9-2015 Urban/Landfill Mining (Jones) 4
Raw material supply faces major challenges:
incrasing complexity of products

Wih more and more critical metals
challenges for recycling
18-9-2015 Urban/Landfill Mining (Jones) 6
Critical metals – essential for the transition to
a low-carbon economy
18-9-2015 Urban/Landfill Mining (Jones) 8
But… End-of-Life recycling rates for critical
metals are poor (UNEP, 2011)
18-9-2015 Urban/Landfill Mining (Jones) 9
Luckily… Belgian companies can lead in the
field of recycling of/and (semi-) critical metals
Just to name some:

Climate change, the mother of all problems
The transition from a linear
to a circular economy

Transition to sustainable materials
management & the circular economy

Climate change, the mother of all problems
Recycling, urban and
landfill mining: 1. End-of-Life products
2. Enhanced Landfill Mining
3. Secondary resources

1. EoL Products: Efficient recycling/urban

2. Enhanced Landfill Mining, a vision
• 150,000 - 500,000 landfills in Europe
o From MSW, mixed to industrial landfills
o From waste dumps to state-of-the-art landfills
• Do-nothing scenario is not an option
o Remediation costs for the EU-28 are projected to be 0.1-1 trillion
euro in the next 5 decades
18-9-2015 Urban/Landfill Mining (Jones) 19
ELFM in Europe
• 150,000 - 500,000 landfills in Europe
o From MSW, mixed to industrial landfills
o From waste dumps to state-of-the-art landfills
• Do-nothing scenario is not an option
o Remediation costs for the EU-28 are projected to be 0,1-1 trillion
euro in the next 5 decades
• ELFM targets the recovery of resources (materials, energy
and land) and preserves drinking water quality
• Prioritisation is required: remediation need, content,
location and size are key parameters

3. Industrial process residues:
SIM MaRes Programme (Flemish level)
• Flanders has no primary ores containing critical metals
• BUT… Flanders has large volumes of secondary
(industrial) proces residues: phosphogypsum, goethite,
metallurgical slags, ashes…
18-9-2015 Urban/Landfill Mining (Jones) 27
MaRes Rationale: metals and minerals from
residues
MaRes aims at
creating and
demonstrating an
operational, flexible
toolbox combining
pyro-, hydro-, electro-
, bio-, solvo- and
ionometallurgy
technologies to
recover metals and
to engineer and
valorise the residual
matrix into highly
innovative low-carbon
building materials and
other mineral
materials.
