Have you considered how gender equality impacts your team’s success? In the Waste2Place project, we've made a conscious effort to prioritize gender equality in both the structure of our work and the way we operate: • 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽: 3 out of 6 of our work package leaders are female, and the overall project leader is also female. • 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘂𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴: We hold yearly education sessions and workshops focused on gender equality, ensuring this perspective remains at the heart of what we do. But why is this important? 📌 Diverse leadership brings richer perspectives. 📌 Inclusive teams create a more balanced and supportive working environment. 📌 Ongoing education ensures we stay accountable and continue to evolve. We’ve seen the benefits of prioritizing this perspective first-hand. 💡Follow us for more updates. The work is carried out within the strategic innovation program Swedish Mining Innovation, a joint venture by Vinnova, Formas and the Swedish Energy Agency. #Waste2Place #GeomorphicDesign #Geomorphic #Mining #Sustainability #Closure #Reclamation #Biodiversity #EcologicalRecovery #ResearchProject #MiningIndustry #NormCritical #Innovation #MiningInnovation

Creating long-term stable landforms to help to deliver mining-disturbed land back to nature and people.
Om oss
The Waste2Place project aims to create long-term stable landforms to help to deliver mining disturbed land back to nature and people. This will be achieved through innovations that strengthen and expand the emerging Swedish geomorphic design knowledge and practical experience to significantly improve the technology, products, and processes around it. Norm-critical thinking is an important focus of this project and will be actively practiced to drive and improve innovation. The output from Waste2Place will be the creation of a geomorphic reclamation toolkit. The components of the toolkit will include methodologies, databases, web-based geospatial tools and landscape and ecological knowledge. Important monitoring results that quantify the environmental performance of a geomorphic approach will also be delivered. The project outcomes provide the basis for a sustainable method of waste rock management in Sweden that creates long-term stable, non-polluting landforms. Waste2Place is a three-year project involving research institutes, industry partners and specialized consultancies who will come together under six different work packages aiming to build knowledge and practical experience across all phases of the geomorphic process. The combination of consultants, research and industry partners will ensure that the project outcomes will progress beyond the life of the project both within Sweden and internationally. The work is carried out within the strategic innovation program Swedish Mining Innovation, a joint venture by Vinnova, Formas and the Swedish Energy Agency.

What have we been up to? We’re excited to share progress on our work to integrate geomorphic landform design into the Swedish mining context. Here's what we've been making progress on lately: 👉 3 satellite-based tools to: • Remotely gather reference data and locate relevant test sites. • Assess landform stability. • Automatically generate vegetation planting plans, tailored to the surrounding landscape, for more effective restoration. 👉 1 tool for integrating geomorphic design principles into current mine planning software, making it easier for industry professionals to adopt the approach early and throughout the planning process. The four prototypes are now being tested and developed with our industry partners - a step closer to practical implementation. 💡Follow us for more updates The work is carried out within the strategic innovation program Swedish Mining Innovation, a joint venture by Vinnova, Formas and the Swedish Energy Agency. #Waste2Place #GeomorphicDesign #Sustainability #MiningInnovation #EcologicalRecovery

What do you do when the landscape you’re working with doesn’t fit the mold? Our team is facing this exact challenge and the solution is leading us to something completely new. Most geomorphic methods around the world focus on landscapes shaped by fluvial processes - essentially water erosion - but Sweden’s landscape is something special. Shaped by a relatively recent ice age that has created a terrain unlike anywhere else on Earth. As a result, the reference sites we’re trying to replicate look very different from what we initially imagined. To adapt, the methods for identifying these sites have had to evolve throughout the course of the project. The team in WP2 are working relentlessly with this and by the end of this project, Waste2Place will have developed a methodology that’s truly unique to this part of the world. Shoutout to Lina Polvi and Ricardo Carrillo for leading these efforts. #Waste2Place #GeomorphicDesign #Geomorphic #Mining #Sustainability #Closure #Reclamation #Biodiversity #EcologicalRecovery #ResearchProject #MiningIndustry #NormCritical #Innovation #MiningInnovation

The Waste2Place project supports Sweden's growing demand for minerals in the green transition by taking care of post-mining landscapes 🌱
Does more mining mean more destroyed landscapes? Just wanted to share some thoughts from the Bridging Horizons: Mining Innovations in Arizona and Sweden event. We talked about the skyrocketing need for metals like copper, cobalt, lithium, and manganese to fuel our clean energy future. This means more mines and faster production. A lot of the chat was about how to meet this demand, but my big question was; '𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙨𝙚 𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙨 𝙡𝙤𝙤𝙠 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙖𝙛𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙘𝙡𝙤𝙨𝙪𝙧𝙚?' Geomorphic landform design is critical to obtaining permits and gaining community support for new mines. But more than that, it's about returning the land to the people and nature once mining is finished. More mines don't have to mean more destroyed landscapes if mine closure is done right. The image shows Arizona's 50-year-old San Manuel copper mine before its closure in 2006. #nature #mining #biodiversity

Thanks Swedish Mining Innovation for the opportunity to present our project at the Program Day! It was inspiring to hear and share stories alongside other impactful projects from this initiative.
Innovation and the future of sustainable mining – highlights from our Program day! Today, project leaders and innovators from Swedish Mining Innovation came together to showcase their projects – from sustainable recycling of critical metals to cutting-edge energy-efficient technologies. – Many of the projects we’re seeing today, such as battery and critical metals recycling, weren't even on the radar when the program began. Now, we're funding a wider range of circular solutions to meet the pressing demands of society's transition, says Charlotte Andersson, Program Director at Swedish Mining Innovation. The power of networking was clear right from the start. Even before the day had officially begun, Catrin Edelbro from Itasca had already forged new connections. – I came here to listen and learn, but within just five minutes, I made a valuable contact. We quickly saw the potential for future collaboration – Chalmers tekniska högskola has a need, and we have a product that could be a perfect fit, even though it hasn't been tested for this specific purpose before. While he focuses on the finer details of rock analysis, I work on the bigger picture with the entire rock mass. It's a true day of networking, with many attending just to listen and explore new opportunities for collaboration, says Catrin Edelbro. Thank you to everyone who joined us today. Together, we’re building a greener future for the mining industry.

Our very own Peter Wihlborg at Viscaria went on a journey across the ocean to deepen his expertise in geomorphic landform design, learning directly from top designers and mining companies already implementing it on their sites.
Peter Wihlborg från Viscaria deltog nyligen i en studieresa i USA tillsammans med geomorfologiexperter från hela världen. Från världens största geomorfologiska återställningsprojekt på La Plata-gruvan till den aktiva Navajo-gruvan fick Peter och teamet förstahandsinsikter i innovativa metoder för att återställa gruvlandskap till sin naturliga form. Resan gav värdefulla insikter i bästa praxis, praktisk inlärning och möjligheten att samarbeta med geomorfologiska experter, däribland @Matt Baida, landskapsarkitekt och geomorfologisk designer med särskild expertis inom svensk geomorfologisk design. Studieresan var en del av Waste2Place-projektet, där Viscaria är industripartner och bidrar med både stöd och expertis. Arbetet sker inom det strategiska innovationsprogrammet Swedish Mining Innovation, ett samarbete mellan Vinnova, Formas och Energimyndigheten. Stort tack till våra guider: Matt Baida, @Ramon Sanchez Donoso, Jose Francisco, Martin Duque och Nicholas Bugosh. Viscaria är stolt industripartner i Waste2Place-projektet och stöttar geomorfologiska efterbehandlingsinsatser i Sverige. Följ Waste2Place för fler uppdateringar!
