ronmental, and social interactions within the production and waste management systems [4]. In developing countries, this dependency is exacerbated by poor infrastructure coupled with a lack of training and eective regulations on environmental matters. These condi-
اقرأ المزيدRecycled aggregates (RA) from construction and demolition waste (CDW) instead of natural aggregates (NA) were analysed in the manufacture of new eco-friendly concrete. Fine (FRA) and coarse (CRA) recycled aggregates were used in different percentages as substitutes of natural sand and gravel, respectively. The results revealed that the use of …
اقرأ المزيدThe journey of concrete recycling begins with the collection of concrete waste from various sources, such as construction sites, demolition projects, and excess materials from concrete production. This waste, comprising old concrete slabs, pipes, bricks, blocks, and other forms of concrete rubble, is transported to recycling facilities.
اقرأ المزيدAbstract— Bricks are a widely used construction and building material around the world. Conventional bricks are produced ... extensive research has been conducted on production of bricks from waste materials. This paper presents a state-of-the-art review of research on utilization of waste materials to produce bricks.
اقرأ المزيدThe scale of waste here is significant. Cembureau, the European cement organisation, calculates that 450-500 million tonnes of construction waste is generated in Europe annually. In the USA, experts reckon concrete could be up to 85% of construction waste.
اقرأ المزيدThe adversarial effects of construction and demolition (C&D) waste on the environment are on the increase. While materials such as metals, wood, glass and plastics are segregated and diverted for reuse/recycling, C&D debris consisting of concrete, bricks and tiles are landfilled in most of the countries.
اقرأ المزيدAs construction activities become more intensive in developing countries, increasing improperly managed construction and demolition waste (CDW) brings serious environmental impacts. Recycling is a beneficial way to dispose of CDW that reduces environmental impact and brings economic benefits, especially for concrete. China is the …
اقرأ المزيدConstruction and Demolition (C&D) materials consist of the debris generated during the construction, renovation and demolition of buildings, roads, and bridges. EPA promotes a Sustainable Materials Management (SMM) approach that identifies certain C&D materials as commodities that can be used in new building …
اقرأ المزيدAn effective and cheap method of sorting and recycling EoL concrete into clean aggregates introduced. • ADR and HAS technologies provide a prospective future to fully close the materials' loop and to effectively implement circular economy in the construction sector.
اقرأ المزيدAnother classification criterion for industrial waste is its origin or sector-specific categorization. Industrial waste can be categorized based on the industry or sector from which it originates, such as manufacturing, construction, mining, chemical production, or electronic waste.
اقرأ المزيدTo sustain the environment, it is crucial to find solutions to deal with waste, pollution, depletion and degradation resources. In construction, large amounts of concrete from buildings' demolitions made up 30-40 % of total wastes.
اقرأ المزيدPlastic recycling has become more advanced in recent years and is always becoming more efficient. Fortunately, a lot of plastic can be remade into new products. Plastic waste recycling reduces our need for more fossil fuels, saves energy, landfill space, and emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. So, how is plastic …
اقرأ المزيدBy switching out traditional materials for recycled or discarded ones, the construction industry may take advantage of the circular economy by reducing the need for new resources and cutting down on waste production. Using recycled or waste materials in buildings is an effective way to create a more sustainable and circular …
اقرأ المزيدA thorough literature search on sustainable C&D waste management frameworks/models revealed that the majority of research efforts have been focused on environmental and economic impacts, mainly green construction to reduce C&D waste generation and the maximisation of reuse and recycling of C&D waste materials, …
اقرأ المزيدConcrete is the most used construction material in the world. Consequently, the mass extraction of materials required for concrete production causes major environmental impacts. With a focus on promoting sustainability, numerous research studies on incorporating waste materials to replace substances in …
اقرأ المزيدYou can help divert C&D materials from disposal by practicing source reduction, salvaging, recycling and reusing existing materials, and buying used and recycled materials and products. The following sections provide more information about: 1. How you can practice source …
