There are over 20,000 closed landfills across the UK, many of which contain significant resources and/or are in locations suitable for redevelopment. The remediation of sites is challenging due to the costs and risks associated with legacy wastes contained within; the concept of enhanced landfill mining [ELFM] aims to maximise recovery of resources to offset the costs of site remediation.
The UK ELFM network brings together key stakeholders from across the industry to identify the key challenges and to develop the roadmap for enabling ELFM across the UK as part of a paradigm shift towards resource resilience and land reclamation.
In this webinar Stuart Wagland talked about the work of the UK ELFM to bring together leaders in land management and the envrionmental sector to make landfill mining a reality in the UK.
