urban mining infrastructure

Urban mining infrastructure involves the systems and facilities designed to recover valuable materials, like metals and plastics, from discarded electronic devices, appliances, and other urban waste. Instead of extracting raw resources from the Earth, urban mining reclaims these materials locally, reducing environmental impact and conserving natural resources. This includes collection points, specialized recycling plants, and sorting technologies that efficiently extract useful materials from waste streams. Overall, urban mining infrastructure enables cities to become resource hubs, promoting sustainability and circular economies by turning waste into valuable raw materials for manufacturing.
