Industry Reviews

Overall, it is well presented and detailed with process flowcharts and useful data. However, the importance of this book - aside from addressing the environmental and sustainability imperative - lies in presenting the opportunities that urban mining offers, which it suggests some countries are already exploiting, and how it can be deployed with readily available and established technology, as well as the need for related industries to operate within legal frameworks.
