2. 1. Landfill Mining : Institutional challenges for the implementation of resource extraction from waste deposits

   Author : Nils Johansson; Joakim Krook; Mats Eklund; Myra Hird; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Landfill mining; recycling; mineral policy; institutions; transitions; mining.;

   Abstract : The overall aim of the thesis is to examine the institutional conditions for the implementation and emergence of landfill mining. The result shows that  current policy makes it difficult for landfill mining operators to find a market outlet for the exhumed material, which means that landfill mining may result in a waste disposal problem.

4. 2. Economics of Landfill Mining : Usefulness and Validity of Different Assessment Approaches

   Author : John Laurence Esguerra; Joakim Krook; Niclas Svensson; Steven Van Passel; Miguel Brandao; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Economic assessment; Uncertainty management; Landfill management; Landfill mining;

   Abstract : Landfill mining (LFM) is an alternative strategy to manage landfills that integrates remediation with secondary resource recovery. At present, LFM remains as an emerging concept with a few pilot-scale project implementations, which presents challenges when assessing its economic performance. READ MORE

5. 3. Landfill mining approach for resource recovery from glass dumps into the circular economy

   Author : Richard Mutafela; William Hogland; Lennart Mårtensson; Linnéuniversitetet; []

   Abstract : Landfills and open dumps have been the most cost-effective waste disposal option, resulting in over 500,000 landfills and dumps in the EU alone. They pose significant environmental and health threats due to emission of toxic gases and release of persistent contaminants to soil and groundwater, triggering a considerable global economic impact annually.

6. 4. Environmental and economic conditions of landfill mining : The development and application of a systems analysis approach

   Author : Per Frändegård; Joakim Krook; Niclas Svensson; David Laner; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Landfill mining is a relatively unproven, still uncertain concept for extracting resources from landfills. Previous studies in the field have mainly focused on solving local environmental problems related to leaching and other landfill management issues, or characterizing the material composition of various landfills.
