comparison of costs and recycling and mining
Comparing the costs and benefits of virgin and urban mining
2021-5-27 The urban mining costs for copper and aluminum are listed in Table 1. In e-waste recycling, the estimated costs for one ton each of copper and aluminum were approximately 12,748 and 3,802 US$, respectively. The recycling costs of ELVs and WWC for the equivalent copper and aluminum amounts are much lower than the cost of e-waste recycling.

CYANIDE RECOVERY COST EFFECTIVENESS IS WHY
COMPARISON Legislation in most gold mining regions of the world demands that gold plants meet rigorous environmental standards with respect to cyanide. These requirements can be met either by destroying cyanide after a single pass through the gold plant or by recovering cyanide from the tailings and recycling it to leaching.

Is Recycling Cheaper Than Landfill? (With Cost Comparison)
2021-4-22 However, one of the main reasons that there is a hesitancy to switch to recycling is because of the costs associated with it.. Money is a driver for a lot of decision-making, and the consensus is that landfilling is cheaper than recycling. This leads many people and cities to avoid making the switch to recycling, because they feel as if the costs are greater than the benefits.
