The goal behind MineralBay is to maximise utilisation and recycling rates for excavated soil and rock material in order to make the mining, tunnelling and construction industry more efficient, cost-effective and eco-friendly by avoiding disposal sites and fees, expensive haulage, mining and processing costs, etc. The economic advantages are based on the fact that the raw material can be considered as available and sure capital or reserve. With the start of the project and the excavation of the tunnel the revenue of selling the material lowers the overall project costs. The reuse can even signify an economic boost and justify financially problematic projects, especially if high-value raw materials are going to be excavated. The creation of new jobs in different fields of expertise around the reuse of tunnel excavation material supports this mode of development.

For the raw material industry supply shortages can be prevented, the own deposit protected, quarry and plant life-time expanded and price fluctuations balanced, since low prices will be likely due to unsafe delivery conditions.
