Mineral Recycling Forum 2022

Organised by Industrial Minerals Forums & Research (IMFORMED).

As the minerals industry strives towards sustainable development in the 2020s, the recycling of waste products – whether from mine tailings or industrial waste – to generate “Secondary Raw Materials” (SRM) is emerging fast as an important additional source of industrial minerals for a range of consuming markets.

The push for the “Circular Economy” has increased recycling of all products, while recognition of over-reliance on declining and limited natural mineral resources, and pressure on critical minerals supply, have all placed mineral recycling firmly in the spotlight.

The forum was a great opportunity for experts to discuss the latest trends and developments in SRM sourcing, supply, processing, quality control, logistics, and crucially, their market applications.
