Valorization of Magnetic Waste: Marketing Strategy and Accumulation Mitigation (Magnetite)
ABOUT IT
The "Magnetic Waste Valorization" project aims to transform the magnetite generated in the mineral processing into an economic resource, promoting intelligent waste management and a circular economy. Currently, approximately 270,000 tons of waste are produced annually, with an accumulated stockpile of approximately 1.5 million tons.
The project includes:
Structuring the market for the commercialization of magnetite, allowing for the shipment of 550,000 tons per year;
Implementation of direct processing on the stockpile, increasing annual shipments to 780,000 tons;
Releasing stockpile areas for forest restoration, especially in the Atlantic Forest biome;
Transforming accumulated waste into economic value, reducing environmental impacts.
