The framework is positioned as an open methodology for post-conflict territories, with Ukraine as a living laboratory. This paper proposes an integration of humanitarian mine action, soil rehabilitation, circular metallurgy, ESG finance, and digital twin territorial modeling into a unified economic infrastructure model. Large-scale contamination of territories with explosive remnants of war (ERW) creates not only humanitarian risk but systemic economic paralysis. Existing approaches treat humanitarian demining as a cost-based safety service. We introduce an integrated model combining humanitarian demining, soil rehabilitation, circular metallurgy, ESG-aligned investment mechanisms, and digital twin-based territorial assessment into a unified economic system. The model formalizes the transition from an expense logic (“cost of demining”) to an investment logic (“return on land restoration”). The paper introduces four novel conceptual contributions: The formation of a new economic segment termed Circular Defense Metals. A transformation model “Contamination → Asset”. Two indices: Soil Recovery Index (SRI) and Economic Re-entry Index (ERI). A full-cycle algorithm:Data → Detection → Neutralization → Soil Recovery → Certification → Economic Re-entry. 5. This paper proposes an integrated infrastructure model for post-conflict land recovery that combines humanitarian demining, soil rehabilitation, circular metallurgy, ESG-aligned financing, and economic re-entry certification into a unified economic system. The framework introduces two novel indices: the Soil Recovery Index (SRI) and the Economic Re-entry Index (ERI). The model formalizes a new economic segment — Circular Defense Metals — transforming post-war contamination from a cost burden into an investment-driven asset recovery process.
