Mining Industry Faces Pressure for Circular Economy Adoption
Why this is here: The mining sector is under increasing pressure to adopt circular economy principles across its entire value chain, mirroring demands on other industries.
Researchers examined how circular economy (CE) principles apply to the global mining sector. The study analyzes conditions influencing CE adoption within mining’s value chains and operations. It identifies tensions hindering or enabling systemic change in this resource-intensive industry.
The paper explores technological innovation, production shifts, and new business models driving circularity. These insights form a framework detailing interactions between micro-, meso-, and macro-level processes.
The analysis offers action points for systemic change but does not detail specific implementation challenges or timelines. Further research is needed to address practical barriers and measure the full impact of CE transitions in mining.
