Green Processing 2006
In a sustainable future, global society's needs for mineral and metal
materials will be met with a fraction of current ecological impacts. We will
have found economically attractive ways to eliminate much of the waste and
emissions from our industry. Mineral resources will be able to be extracted and
processed without systematic redistribution of fossil carbon and heavy metals
from the lithosphere to the biosphere.
Sustainable development presents us all with a challenge and an opportunity
to innovate. Innovation will cover the spectrum from persistent incremental
improvement to exciting new breakthroughs and will often cross traditional
business and discipline boundaries to create industrial ecology and draw on
regional synergies. Innovation will build on solid foundations of scientific and
engineering excellence in process technology, informed by a wider sense of the
life cycles, value chains, communities and regions we are part of. Improved
processing performance will contribute to material and product stewardship.
Waste and emissions will be reduced and value will be captured from what is now
regarded as waste. The deportment of minor elements will be better understood
and controlled to maximise value and minimise impacts. Our sector will
contribute to the sound recycling and reuse of the material resources of
society.
Within a diverse program, we see some strong themes around value recovery
from waste streams, the potential sourcing of metallurgical carbon from biomass
to reduce the sector's heavy reliance on fossil fuels and improving water and
energy performance.
