Sustainable Mining Waste Management by Eco Logistics

Abstract

Mining is key to economic growth, but historical mining techniques and the absence of periodic mined-land reclamation, remediation, and restoration have led to significant environmental and human health hazards. New mining methods continue to have major waste impacts that must be addressed during and after carrying out the actual mining operation. Some new operations occur in areas where the actual material contains sufficient residual minerals such that further development, remaining, and subsequent reclamation of the waste are economically viable. By examining multiple factors simultaneously, these methods facilitate minimizing the influence of subjectivity and bias on decisions. Moreover, MCDM method furnishes a framework to evaluate trade-offs between conflicting objectives, permitting decision-makers to navigate through intricate decisions effectively.
