Overview

This webinar will start with a concise overview of the circular economy followed by a summary of the mining industry’s engagement with the circular economy to date. It will then propose how the concept of the circular economy could help identify initiatives for progressing complex ore body development, building social licence to operate and achieving mine closure. The webinar will conclude with suggested ways that the industry could increase its contribution to the circular economy in the future.
