On July 13, 2020, STADLER, one of the NEW-MINE partners, launched a press release about its participation in the NEW­-MINE project. A week later, the press release and the NEW-MINE project were featured in the Recycling Magazine. Recycling Magazine is a publication for the Recycling industry in the German speaking countries and focuses on the recovery of solid wastes. It ...

STADLER, one of the partners of the ETN NEW-MINE project, launched a press release on July 13, 2020, in which it highlighted the potential of Enhanced Landfill Mining. STADLER played an important role in the first work package, dedicated to mechanical processing. Thanks to the STADLER STT6000 Ballistic Separator, the theoretical research on mechanical processing was put to the test ...

Just over three years in the NEW-MINE project, we are very happy that our first ESRs are now graduating! In February 2020, Patricia Rabelo Monich successfully defended her PhD and can now proudly call herself a doctor in Materials Engineering! Patricia studied under the supervision of prof. Enrico Bernardo of the University of Padova the characteristics of glass-ceramic materials. Patricia ...

The seventh network-wide event of MSCA ETN NEW-MINE took place on 5, 6 and 7 February 2020 in Leuven (Belgium). On the first day of the NWE, the ESRs received two trainings. Various other PhD-students also attended the training sessions. Both trainings took place in the Park Inn Hotel in Leuven (Belgium): Scientific paper writing skills: “So, you want to ...

The Sixth Network-wide Event of ETN NEW-MINE took place in Bergamo (Italy). From Wednesday September 5 to Friday September 7, the NEW-MINE consortium met in Bergamo to review the results achieved in the last half year. The Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) presented an overview of their individual progress and developed a summary of the main results per workpackage. During the ...

The fifth network-wide event of MSCA ETN NEW-MINE is hosted by the KTH Royal Institute of Technology and takes place from 6 to 8 February 2019 in Stockholm (Sweden). The first day, on Wednesday 6/02, the ESRs will receive a training on statistics and have the time to organise the Researchers Conucil. On Thursday 7/02, the ESRs give an individual ...

The first day, on Wednesday 5/09, the materials flow of the project was discussed in a workshop managed by the ESRs of work package 4. The general approach of the assessment of Enhanced Landfill Mining (ELFM) by WP4 and the data input required by ESRs were presented. Subsequently, performance parameters of the different processes were discussed in working groups. The ...

NEW-MINE contributed to the Researchers’ Night in Padova, held on September 28th. Prof. Enrico Bernardo, with the help of ESR Patricia Rabelo Monich, showed the activities concerning the upcycling of industrial waste (comprising waste glass) in the manufacturing of glass-ceramic foams. They demonstrated the obtainment of glass foams by alkali activation of suspensions of glass powders, followed by intensive mechanical stirring. ...

On September 10-12, 2017, the joint ETN SOCRATES, ETN NEW-MINE & EIT KIC IMAGINE summer school will be organised in Leuven, Belgium. The Summer School aims at offering an integral approach for the assessment of landfill mining projects. The interdisciplinary training programme aims at going beyond technical assessment, offering an approach to determine the value of landfill mining from an economic, environmental, social ...
