And what are the barriers to achieving zero waste? How do we dissolve them?


The Zero-Waste Mining Prize Design is an ambitious initiative sponsored by global mining companies motivated to accelerate the pace of technological innovation and implementation and change the industry while benefiting the communities where they operate.

The Challenge
