enviroMETS Qld focuses on several areas of technical interest where we have established credentials, skilled people engaged, successful research and many potential project collaborators.

Being an innovation ecosystem enviroMETS utilises the skills, experience and committed self-interest of its Contributor network to derive our Capabilities.

The streams broadly address the ‘residual or legacy’ aspects of mining.
