The majority of such sites are protected due to their unique ecological and/or heritage value. Traditional remediation techniques are both destructive and costly. C-Cure Solutions Ltd. have developed an innovative charcoal based products to remediate waste materials contaminated with metals and metalloids, whilst protecting the ecological and heritage value of sites. The C-Cure technique is also very cost effective, and has the potential to significant reduce the remediation and restoration site costs of leagacy mine sites in the UK and across Europe. There are an estimated 200+ metal mine sites in the UK requiring remediation, and 15,000 sites across Europe. The project will work with real sites to demonstrate the efficacy of the C-Cure technique and open up a significant market opportunity.
