Quarry Waste Recycling

MINIMISING WASTE, MAXIMISING USE

Each stage of the quarrying process produces by-products in the form of overburden, scalpings or crushed rock fines. Sub-economic materials currently being held in stockpiles across the world are defined as wastes because the material is heavily claybound or because of other inherent material characteristics and no market currently exists for them.

The ability of quarries to convert these wastes into approved products has been hampered by the lack of flexibility, affordability and sustainable techniques available. However, if processed with the right technology these by-products still have the potential to produce quality products for applications such as surface dressing, concrete production or asphalt.

MEKA team has years of experience in material processing, waste management and the quarrying industry and choosing MEKA as your solution partner will provide your Quarry Group with a unique, unrivalled and unlimited opportunity to substantially improve on your operations and profitability.
