Recycling in mining - Boosting circular economy

Reducing carbon emissions by up to 61%

Recycling FLS ARMOUR^™ composite liners rather than sending them to landfill results in carbon emissions savings of up to 61% compared to producing the mill liners from virgin materials*. This is based on the recycling credit of sending the materials to be made into new products, minus the emissions from transport, separating the composite liner, and material losses during recycling (and downcycling).

Circular economy – Boosting operational efficiency

Recycling promotes a circular economy by reusing materials, reducing waste, and conserving resources. It enhances operational efficiency by lowering costs and extending equipment lifespan, leading to improved productivity. Additionally, recycling fosters innovation and the development of sustainable technologies in mining operations.

Minimise environmental impact

Recycling mining components reduces environmental impact by minimizing the need for new raw material extraction, which often causes community disruption and added risks. It also decreases landfill waste, preventing soil and water contamination. Additionally, recycling conserves natural resources and lowers the carbon footprint of mining operations.
