Who We Are

Circular Mine Consortium is a partnership of Australian and European businesses that has successfully reduced waste on mine sites globally. Together, we are making zero mine waste a reality.

We provide the mining industry with a tool box of solutions to effectively recycle their mine waste into a resource that can be used in commercial products and to avoid building traditional and costly tailings dams. This provides long-term sustainable solutions for shareholders, communities and governments.

Our consortium members have a combined team of over 2000 engineers, technicians, researchers and laboratory facilities with significant experience in water, tailings, environmental and recycling.

Consortium partners, BRGM, VITO and solution providers such as Dassault Systèmes are recognised globally as European leaders in research and development in digitalisation, recycling, repurposing and cleaning of tailings. BRGM and VITO have highly advanced laboratory facilities to transform waste into raw materials with over 2000 engineers and researchers. They are currently working on European mine waste recycling initiatives at pilot plant stage such as Nemo, Re-activate, Sultan and Iterframes.

Sustainability is the key priority for SoilCyclers, MEKS and Circular Mine – all Australian based companies operating in waste and water management in the mining industry in Australia and overseas.
