Tender Details

The global energy transition is driving unprecedented demand for minerals, and with it a growing volume of waste across mining operations in Emerging Market and Developing Economies (EMDEs). Alongside mineral waste, mines generate substantial non-mineral waste, such as tires, plastics, pallets, and scrap metal, much of which is sent to disposal rather than recovered. Managed collaboratively across neighboring operations, these materials represent an opportunity to reduce cost and environmental impact, recover value, and support local enterprise and jobs.The World Bank Group is seeking a qualified consulting firm to develop a practical, replicable proof-of-concept blueprint for a collaborative, multi-mine circular resource recovery facility in EMDEs. The blueprint will be grounded in desk-based analysis and targeted stakeholder engagement across three EMDEs (Brazil and Chile in Phase 1, and Guinea in Phase 2), and will be designed to be scalable and adaptable to other EMDE contexts.The assignment runs for a period of up to 12 months and is delivered in two phases through six sequential activities. For each country, the consultant will produce a baseline assessment of priority non-mineral waste streams and mining clusters; a facility concept with an indicative economic model; SME and local economic development opportunities, including basic business plans; and public-sector policy recommendations. These country-level findings will be synthesized into a single blueprint and a set of knowledge products, including an executive summary, presentation, infographics, and a public webinar. The approach builds on established methodologies for multi-mine circular resource recovery; the consultant may propose alternative or complementary approaches better suited to the EMDE context. The assignment requires demonstrated expertise in circular economy and waste valorization, the mining sector, EMDE market contexts, techno-economic and financial analysis, and SME and local economic ...
