Landfill Mining. Process, Feasibility, Economy, Benefits and Limitations

Landfill mining (LFM) and reclamation is a process whereby solid waste which has previously been landfilled is excavated and processed typically from an active or closed landfill.

The overall objective of this study is to increase the knowledge of LFM by investigating worldwide practice. This study addresses environmental and financial aspects associated to LFM. 

The aim of the project is to:

  • Investigate worldwide LFM practice.
  • Describe the economic aspects of LFM.
  • Describe the benefits and limitations.
  • If possible assess the feasibility of LFM in Denmark and if it’s economically viable.
