The Urban Mining Innovation Centre (UMIC) research center is an initiative developed at the Norman B. Keevil Institute of Mining Engineering at UBC to provide scientific, business, and social approaches to recovering valuable materials/metals from urban waste streams.
Urban societies create prolific waste streams—75% of the world’s waste is generated from industrialized urban areas. Some of these waste streams contain an enormous mineral and metal value. For example, electronic waste has been shown to contain 100 times more gold and copper than many operating mines.
Our mission at UMIC is to pioneer innovative and sustainable recycling technologies for extracting critical metals from e-waste and mine waste. By leveraging the expertise of seasoned researchers in mineral processing, waste characterization, and biohydrometallurgy, we are making strides toward a sustainable future in urban mining and recycling.
