The extractive industry in Sweden currently has ~177 km2 of mining disturbed land, which is associated with habitat destruction, biodiversity loss, visual impact and loss of livelihood and culture.
The aim of the Waste2Place project is to create long-term stable landforms to help to deliver mining-disturbed land back to nature and people through a geomorphic approach to waste rock management.
An important aim is to deliver a process where all parts of the consortium are included into discussions and self reflective conversations about how equality perspectives help drive and improve innovation in the extractive industry as well as in the society overall. Here RISE plays a role in facilitating equality through discussions, transdisciplinary interaction and knowledge exchange.
