A move towards a circular economy ensures the survival and lower dependence on our environment and limited resources. The mining sector has already demonstrated successful circular economy strategies including recycling used mining truck tyres and conveyor belts and using the rubber in industrial products including oils, carbon black, and steel. The success of establishing a circular economy is dependent on partnerships between the community, local governments, and industries. The shift caused by developing a circular economy shows great potential for the global environment including climate change and will fortify Australia's credentials as a leader in the mining industry.
