Borenius advised Anglo American on collaboration with Betolar to advance circular economy solutions at Sakatti project

We advised Anglo American on its collaboration with Betolar regarding the use of metal extraction technology and green cement production at Anglo American’s Sakatti project in Sodankylä, Finland.

The collaboration represents a significant step in Anglo American’s ambition to develop a low-waste mine that leverages circular economy solutions. By partnering with Betolar, Anglo American aims to transform what would traditionally constitute waste material into valuable resources.

The collaboration supports Anglo American’s vision of designing and developing Sakatti as one of their next generation of FutureSmart mines – a low-carbon underground operation with minimal surface footprint. At the heart of this approach is Anglo American’s commitment to protecting the environment and embedding circular practices where possible.

Borenius has been advising Anglo American on the development of the Sakatti project since 2014.

Anglo American is a leading global mining company focused on the responsible production of copper, premium iron ore, and crop nutrients – future-enabling products that are essential for decarbonising the global economy, improving living standards, and ensuring food security.

Betolar is a circular economy enabler and materials technology specialist, providing innovative solutions to help use industrial sidestreams to produce low-carbon and cement-free products for the mining and construction sectors.
