Abstract The endeavor to implement value addition to mine waste while ensuring sustainability is marked by a complex array of challenges and barriers. Foremost among these is the inherent variability in the composition and characteristics of mine waste, posing difficulties in devising standardized processes for its extraction and utilization. Geological and environmental factors further compound the issue, necessitating tailored solutions adapted to diverse mining sites. Concurrently, addressing the adverse environmental consequences of traditional mining activities, including soil and water contamination, is imperative for achieving sustainable practices. Regulatory complexities and protracted permitting procedures can stymie innovation in mine waste management, amplifying the challenge. Striking a harmonious balance between economic viability and upholding environmental and social responsibility is a delicate feat. Interdisciplinary collaboration emerges as an indispensable factor, facilitating the formulation of comprehensive and sustainable strategies to transmute mine waste into valuable resources. Triumphing over these multifaceted hurdles is pivotal in harnessing the complete potential of mine waste while preserving the wellbeing of our planet. This chapter endeavors to elucidate the hurdles and sustainable methodologies linked to the creation of value-added products from mining waste. It delves into the prospects of revolutionizing mining waste into valuable commodities through pioneering approaches. The chapter highlights the difficulties linked to transforming mining waste into valuable commodities. It also delves into the concept of life cycle assessment in the context of achieving a circular economy for the advancement and market introduction of these value-added products.
