Mining fines
Fine tailings from ore processing, assessed for mineralisation and potential aggregate production without thermal treatment.

Two Feedstocks: MSW & Biomass
Municipal solid waste and biomass follow distinct pathways: preparation, controlled thermal treatment of suitable residual fractions, and mineral recovery towards potential construction materials. Suitable organics also have a parallel composting route.
Recovered metals, feedstock-specific chemicals, useful heat, electricity and potential water are supporting streams. Product safety and performance require local testing; no water output is guaranteed. Mineralisation may generate carbon benefits, subject to verification.
Two feedstocks: municipal solid waste and biomass. Sorting at the land-based reception site removes metals and plastics; recoverable plastics are sold and unrecoverable plastics go to a dedicated thermal treatment unit, keeping chlorine out of the main flow. Each main line runs through processing stages towards potential construction materials. Biomass cementitious material also feeds into MSW aggregate production. Produced aggregates / engineered fill then go to stockpiling and delivery to the block plant. Stage-two CO₂ absorption occurs during stockpiling, not aggregate production. Side branches show recovered materials, energy, heat, water, carbon capture (MSW line only — the biomass process has no CO2 capture) and compost.

Other feedstocks we can treat
Alongside MSW and biomass, these feedstocks can be assessed for mineral recovery. Suitable streams may enter conditioning and mineralisation without thermal treatment; contaminants, chemistry and product safety must be assessed case by case.
Sewage sludge
Municipal sludge assessed for drying, stabilisation and potential material recovery; contaminants and treatment requirements determine suitability.
Brown coal PFA
Pulverised fuel ash from lignite generation, assessed for conditioning and mineralisation as an already-combusted residue.
Bauxite red mud
Alkaline alumina refinery residue, assessed for CO₂ mineralisation and potential fill; safety and leaching require validation.
Steel slag
Furnace slag assessed for carbonation and aggregate use. Mineralisation may generate carbon benefits, subject to verification.
CKD / CBD (cement)
Cement kiln and bypass dust, assessed as reactive binder feedstocks subject to chemistry and product-performance testing.
