On February 21, 2025, at Verde.tec 2025 in M.E.C. Paiania, the LIFE BRINE-MINING project, was presented as a pioneering solution for coal mine wastewater management and resource recovery. Experts, researchers, and industry stakeholders discussed innovative approaches to eliminating brine discharge while extracting valuable resources like water and salts. This EU-funded initiative, spanning Greece, the Netherlands, and Poland, aims to shift from a linear to a circular business model, improving saline wastewater management in coal mining. A key milestone of the project is the installation of a demonstration plant in Poland, showcasing an advanced wastewater treatment system that recovers high-purity water
