In 2017, wastes from group 01 constituted 60% of total wastes produced in Poland. According to the statistical data, approximately 92% of the waste generated during the excavation and processing of hard coal is economically reused. 30% of this waste used in industry and nearly 70% is used for the reclamation of the degraded industrial areas. At present, there is a tendency in the E uropean Union to shift from a linear economy to the Circular E conomy. The goal is to maintain economical value of the resources, among others, by their reuse in a productive way, which at the same time eliminates waste. One of the industrial branch where the ideals of a Circular E conomy can be implemented is the mining industry. Mining wastes may form one of the sources of anthropogenic minerals, as they belong to alternative aggregates. Deposits of anthropogenic minerals are considered sources of valuable raw materials which guarantee that the products made on their basis will be of high quality. The article presents the results of physico-chemical tests, the leachability of contaminations and phytotoxicity tests carried out on the basis of the selected mining waste in light of a Circular E conomy.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Testing physicochemical properties and fitotoxicity of selected extractive waste in light of a Circular Economy}, URL={http://www.journals.pan.pl/Content/113656/PDF/Czop-Ko%C5%9Bcielna-%C5%BBydek.pdf}, doi={10.24425/znigsme.2019.130170}, keywords={extractive waste, waste management, physicochemical examinations, Circular Economy}, }
