Today human society is already witnessing rapid depletion of non-renewable ore resources. As the distribution of
raw material resources globally is very off-balance, and preassure on environment as the consequence of ore exploatation
is not negligible, re-utilization and recycling of industrial side-streams gaining on importance. Finding new
potentially anthropogenic resources of material (at first place critical raw materials) are inline with sustainable waste
management goals, and in correlation with boundaries given by the circular economy principles. Side-streams from
mines can become source for recovery of these materials. The aim of this paper was to analyze position of mining
waste in correlation with circular economy principles, as well potential for implementation of them within extraction
industry in the Republic of Serbia.
