Well there is a game called Eco, that does exactly that. Mine a bunch of iron ore out of the ground? Your storage container has to be just as big as the amount of iron that you dug up. Oh, also all those rocks that you dug up to GET to the iron have to go somewhere as well. You even create physical "waste" blocks that have to be stored somewhere, preferably underground and away from any running water.
