Objective Europe has somewhere between 150,000 and 500,000 landfill sites, with an estimated 90% of them being “non-sanitary”landfills, predating the EU Landfill Directive of 1999. These older landfills tend to be filled with municipal solid wasteand often lack any environmental protection technology. In order to avoid future environmental and health problems,many of these landfills will soon require expensive remediation measures. This situation might appear bleak, but it doespresent us with an exciting opportunity for a combined resource-recovery and remediation strategy, which will drasticallyreduce future remediation costs, reclaim valuable land, while at the same time unlocking billions of tonnes of valuableresources contained within these landfills. However, the widespread adoption of Enhanced Landfill Mining (ELFM)in the EU, as envisaged by NEW-MINE, urgently requires skilled scientists, engineers, economists and policy makerswho can develop cost-effective, environmentally friendly ELFM practices and regulatory frameworks. All this demandsa European commitment to concerted, inter- and transdisciplinary research and innovation. The NEW-MINE projecttrains 15 early-stage researchers (ESRs) in all the aspects of landfill mining, in terms of both technological innovationand multi-criteria assessments for ELFM. The technological innovation follows a value-chain approach, from advancedlandfill exploration, mechanical processing, plasma/solar/hybrid thermochemical conversion and upcycling, while themulti-criteria assessment methods allow the ESRs to compare combined resource-recovery/remediation ELFM methodswith the “Do-Nothing”, “Classic remediation” and “Classic landfill mining with (co-)incineration” scenarios. By training the ESRs in scientific, technical and a range of soft skills, all based on a collaboration involving EU-leading institutes, they become highly sought-after scientists and engineers for the rapidly emerging ELFM and recycling industries.
