Ever imagined turning trash into treasure? Well, that is precisely what Team PolySculpt, sponsored by Metso, is all about!
We are tackling a monumental environmental challenge: mining tailings, whose global volume has reached 217 km3. To put it into perspective, that is like stacking buildings as tall as the World Trade Center in New York, side by side, in a town-width row!
Our team has been working hard to develop a revolutionary sprayable geopolymer solution made from mining tailings, which can be used as a construction material and as a covering for hazardous tailings.
