Brazilian miner Vale will begin to build this year a processing plant in southeastern Minas Gerais state for tailings and waste rock, the company said in a statement seen by Reuters on Friday.

The plant will have the capacity to produce up to 2 million metric tons of iron ore annually and is part of Vale’s goal to reuse previously discarded raw materials and advance its circular economy program.
