Beyond Water: Sustainable Dust Control for Mining Roads
December 09, 2025 01:00 PM Europe/Oslo
Mines around the world face the same challenge: dust from haul roads drives up water consumption, fuel use, and maintenance—while impacting safety and community relations.
In this short, practical session, Borregaard and our South African partner Road Material Stabilisers share how mines are moving beyond water to a proven, bio-based alternative.
