The traditional concrete recycling supply chain, as explained in Section 2.1, serves as a benchmark for an alternative supply chain that incorporates WCP recycling and an alternative source of CO 2 usage (flue CO 2).The traditional concrete recycling supply chain flow consists of a series of activities, illustrated in Fig. 2 (a), starting from the …
Recycling will help cut disposal expenses while lowering the project's environmental impact. Recycled concrete will not end up in landfills and may even be used as a substitute for raw materials. For instance, it can be utilized for sand. Recycling concrete reduces construction waste, extends landfill life, and lowers disposal costs.
Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, a sudden surge in the production and utilization of disposable, single-use facial masks has been observed. Delinquency in proper disposal of used facial masks endangers the environment with a new form of non-biodegradable plastic waste that will take hundreds of years to break down. Therefore, …

With the world's population still growing, so continues the development of humans' physical environment. As things stand we still rely on newly cast concrete as an efficient, strong and relatively low cost building material, emitting unsustainable amounts of CO2 as a result (reckoned to be 4 billion tonnes of cement annually, equating to 8% of global emissions).
Concrete recycling and reclaiming equipment is essential for concrete and construction waste disposal operations that want to be eco-friendly and reduce their impact on the environment. By crushing and recycling concrete, you can save money on disposal costs and help reduce the environmental impact of your project.
In 2010, the UK government's waste and packaging advisory agency, Wrap, carried out a detailed analysis of the effectiveness of recycling. It compared seven types of disposal (recycling, landfill, incineration, and so on) for seven different types of material commonly recycled (paper, glass, plastics, and so on).

Insights. Sustainable Solutions for Concrete Disposal: A Comprehensive Guide. Wisdom Weaver June 5, 2023 7 min read. Learn how to dispose of excess concrete properly with this comprehensive …
Recycling construction and demolition waste is profitable and environmental way to produce aggregates and reuse valuable materials that would otherwise be disposed. Processing the waste near the worksites also reduces the need for truck transportation resulting in lower logistics costs. Profitability. Make use of material that would otherwise ...
This paper presents an experimental investigation on structural concrete with partial replacement of coarse aggregate using electronic plastic waste (E-plastic). In view of utilizing the non ...
Processing aggregates from C&DW begins by selectively demolishing a building to separate the different waste materials according to their type and composition (Coelho and De Brito, 2011).Once other materials have been selectively dismantled, the End-of-Life (EoL) concrete is torn down with the help of machinery.
Recycling concrete is the most sustainable solution to concrete waste. It reduces the need for aggregate and decreases greenhouse gas emissions. Concrete recycling also reduces the …
This Special Issue aims to collect the original research that contributes to the performance evaluation of recycled aggregate, recycled powder and its newly prepared cementitious materials, which helps the …
Concrete / mortar demolition waste can be separated into "secondary aggregates" for recycling at a quality level that is similar to that of traditional raw materials; such as a powder that is ...
Preservation of raw materials. Recycling concrete is a great way to reduce the environmental impact of concrete. production. Every ton of recycled concrete can replace up to 1.5 tons of new aggregate, thus reducing the number of natural resources that need to be extracted and processed. Mitigate carbon footprint.
15.1 Waste Concrete. Waste concrete can be divided into two main categories, recyclable waste concrete and non-recyclable waste concrete. Furthermore, waste concrete can be subdivided into different categories depending on its origin, such as initial usage, initial usage environment, exposed conditions, carbonation, etc.
To tackle this issue, methods such as concrete recycling and incorporating other waste. construction materials into concrete have emerged as crucial approaches in recent decades (5-7, 12). In this ...
In this research the types of sample were asphalt mixture with 5% glass, 5% plastic, 2.5% glass and 2.5% plastic; 4% plastic and 1% glass; and 1% plastic and 4% glass. Marshall stability and flow results showed an excellent prospects using 5% plastic in asphalt concrete. The adapted results are given in Table 3.
Abstract. Construction activity generates a large amount of waste, causing environmental and economic impacts due to waste elimination without recycling or reusing these materials. In this research, the incorporation of wastes from different sectors (biomass, power plants, construction and demolition process) in concrete with good …
9778. Crushing and Screening Equipment for Concrete Recycling. There are two approaches to recycling concrete. One approach is to haul the concrete debris to a permanent recycling facility or quarry for crushing and screening. The alternative is to crush and screen the material at the demolition site. The latter is preferred for the …
The volume percentage of the old mortar can vary between 20 to 30 percent, depending on factors such as the properties of the original concrete and the recycling process.
Recycling of waste concrete is done to reuse the concrete rubble as aggregates in concrete. The recycled aggregates have less crushing strength, impact resistance, specific gravity and has more absorption …
In fact, our perceived old and outdated structures have generated a $4 billion dollar demolition industry, with the number only expected to rise as time goes on. In 2010 alone, an estimated 104 ...
