Transforming Mining Waste into Roads and Mine Infrastructure

Mining operations generate vast quantities of waste, which is generally considered a liability. From overburden and waste rock to HDPE liners, used tyres, and conveyor belts, these materials often end up in landfills or require costly off-site disposal. However, AggreBind’s patented technology and solutions for the mining industry is changing the game by transforming waste materials, hazardous waste and wastewater, into durable roads and infrastructure for both mining operations and the surrounding communities.

Repurposing Mining Waste for Roads

AggreBind’s proprietary and patented application methods enables the incorporation of various mining waste materials into the construction of haul roads, general mining roads, car parks, access roads, and community infrastructure. By pulverizing or shredding materials like overburden, waste rock, HDPE pipes and liners, used tires, slag and tailings, they can be combined with in-situ soils and stabilized with AggreBind to create high-performance, hydrophobic and non-leaching roads and road surfaces. The AggreBind solution not only eliminates the need for traditional road-building materials but also significantly reduces the volume of waste requiring disposal.

AggreBind’s Circular Approach to Waste Management in Mining

• Circularity in Mining: By turning waste into a resource, AggreBind supports circular economy principles, ensuring materials are reused rather than discarded.
• Cost Savings: Mining operations save money by avoiding waste removal, landfill fees, and potential fines for improper disposal.
• Durable Infrastructure: Roads stabilized with AggreBind and mining waste are long-lasting, reducing the need for frequent maintenance and repairs.
• Sustainability Goals: These patented methods align with sustainability objectives by minimizing environmental impact through hydrophobic and non-leaching technology, and supporting responsible consumption and production.

Applications Beyond the Mine Site

AggreBind’s circular solutions extend beyond mining operations. Overburden and other waste materials can be used to construct roads and infrastructure for surrounding communities, benefiting the environment, and enhanced community relations by providing valuable infrastructure while reducing the dust and noise from poorly maintained and unsealed roads.

Patented, Proven Technology Turning a Liability into an Asset

Mining waste no longer needs to be a burden, or a cost to the operation. By utilizing AggreBind, waste materials are repurposed into roads, that support operational efficiency reducing waste, saving money, and creating lasting infrastructure.
