As pressure mounts on miners to cut emissions, conserve water and still grow production, Weir believes that smarter technology and re‑engineered flowsheets are the way forward. For the group, sustainability isn’t a side project – it’s the organising principle behind its entire innovation strategy. Christian Stehle, Regional Engineering Director EMEA at Weir, explains that providing technology for a sustainable future is the essence of what the group does. “That promise plays out in four main areas: energy, water, waste and digital, all underpinned by a strong safety culture,” he states.
