This contribution gives an overview of how materials valorisation fits into the overall scheme of Enhanced Landfill Mining and shows its relations with energy recovery, separation of material streams and carbon sequestration. As such there is a close link with the contributions of Lieve Helsen and Anouk Bosmans; Mieke Quaghebeur et al. and Ben Laenen and Peter Van Tongeren, elsewhere in these Conference Proceedings. In addition some novel technological methods and considerations will be highlighted, which underline ELFM as a holistic and innovative route for materials recycling. Finally, two recent initiatives will be briefly described as they illustrate the approach that is needed to cope with this interdisciplinary challenge.
