With the RAWFILL project we are supporting a new circular economy for raw materials from landfills. As circular economy is one of the main priorities to the EU, the landfill mining is an efficient solution to the transition from traditional waste management to sustainable material management. To implement this circular economy in NW Europe, RAWFILL has developed three tools:

(1) An innovative method to characterize and assess the economic potential of the landfill using geophysics and guided samples;

(2) An enhanced landfill inventory structure (ELIF);

(3) A decision support tool that help to select the most profitable landfill mining projects.

Moreover, as there are no general consistent legislative frameworks and approval procedures for landfill mining in most of the NWE region, RAWFILL team discusses with local authorities and facilitates the knowledge exchange on landfill management and mining at an EU-level in order to tackle the existing barriers.
