From waste to value
Construction and demolition waste provides an endless source of raw materials for various purposes and products.
Construction and demolition waste comprises multiple economically valuable materials such as reusable aggregates, bitumen, brick, concrete, metals, many of which can be sold directly or used in new products, construction materials or in energy production.
Concrete and rubble recycling
In an optimal case this waste is processed near the demolition site, making the discarded matter a continuous stream of raw materials for new roads, buildings, bridges and urban landscape.
Recovering as much materials as possible also has another benefit. Oftentimes, heavy and bulky waste is expensive to dump in landfills or store in stockpiles. The larger the proportion of materials reused, the greater are the savings in waste management costs.
