a geospatial approach to uncovering the hidden Waste Footprint of lake superior s mesabi iron range
The Extractive Industries and Society, 2016Co-Authors: John Baeten, Nancy Langston, Don LafreniereAbstract:Abstract For decades, the Lake Superior Iron District produced a significant majority of the world’s iron used in steel production. Chief among these was the Mesabi Range of northern Minnesota, a vast deposit of hematite and magnetic taconite ores stretching for over 100 miles in length. Iron ore mining in the Mesabi Range involved three major phases: direct shipping ores (1847–1970s), washable ores (1907–1980s), and taconite (1947–current). Each phase of iron mining used different technologies to extract and process ore. Producing all of this iron yielded a vast landscape of mine Waste. This paper uses a historical GIS to illuminate the spatial extent of mining across the Lake Superior Iron District, to locate where low-grade ore processing took place, and to identify how and where Waste was produced. Our analysis shows that the technological shift to low-grade ore mining placed new demands on the environment, primarily around processing plants. Direct shipping ore mines produced less mine Waste than low-grade ore mines, and this Waste was confined to the immediate vicinity of mines themselves. Low-grade ore processing, in contrast, created more dispersed Waste landscapes as tailings mobilized from the mines themselves into waterbodies and human communities.

the Waste Footprint of french households in 2020 a comparison of scenarios of consumption growth using input output analysis
Journal of Industrial Ecology, 2018Co-Authors: Antoine Beylot, Baptiste Boitier, Nicolas Lancesseur, Jacques VilleneuveAbstract:Summary This study aims at quantifying and analyzing the Waste Footprint of French household consumption in 2020 with respect to different scenarios of economic growth. Three models are jointly used: (1) a multiregional unilateral input-output model extended to Waste, to quantify Waste generation from economic activities induced by household consumption; (2) a coefficient-based model dedicated to quantifying postconsumer Waste as a function of household consumption; and (3) the New Econometric Model of Evaluation by Sectorial Interdependency and Supply (NEMESIS), a macroeconometric model used to elaborate different scenarios of growth in household consumption in the period 2008–2020. Three scenarios consider changes primarily in terms of household consumption volume, while one scenario additionally considers changes in the composition of consumption according to the past-30-year trend. First, this study suggests that if the trend in changes of composition is maintained, it will lead, by 2020, to a “relative” decoupling between French household consumption and Waste Footprint with respect to dry recyclables, mixed Wastes, and organic Wastes and to an “absolute” decoupling with respect to mineral Wastes. Second, this study provides a mapping of the changes in French household Waste Footprints from 2008 to 2020 as a function of scenarios, with indications of where these changes would actually occur in the economy (Waste from economic activities or postconsumer Waste) and geographically (in France or abroad). In particular, for most of the scenarios considered, changes in French household consumption from 2008 to 2020 primarily induce changes in organic and mineral Waste generation abroad rather than in France.
