Description
Summary:Many methods are used to extract the ores causing huge threat to environment. Mining practices lead to un sustainability and the problems created by it were not yet controlled. So adoption of Green mining technologies helps to attain sustainable development and control the problems to maximum extent. The main objective of green mining is to start mining process and end it to ensure that adopting green mining practices lead to sustainability. Green mining also reduces greenhouse gases prone to effect conserve minerals, using energy more efficiently etc. According to Mission 2016 plan many green mining techniques were adopted and increased focus on research and became more popular so every industry focusing on environmental friendly technologies. Some of the major mining nations like Canada, Australia, South Africa etc adopted sustainable development viewed on not only environment but also other dimensions like local stake holder engagement, socio economic development in mining project areas and transparency in communication with stake holders. Sustainable strategies of mining includes measurement, monitoring mainly to improve the performance of environment and ensure that the mining operations are perfect or not. This paper reviews impacts of mining in various countries and Green mining solutions adopted over the world. It also discussed about Green supply chain management and the barriers of it and given the suggestions to control these barriers.
