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. Make use of material that would otherwise be waste.
Concrete Recycling: Hardened Concrete. Part of what makes the concrete waste disposal and washout service so essential is that it prevents the hardening of concrete in the equipment. The last thing you need is hardened concrete inside the drums or chutes of your trucks. This is why a washout is needed after each day of work.
returned concrete. 2.2.2 Re-use and Recycle Concrete Wash Water is generally stored on-site at a concrete batch plant in settling ponds and tanks and is recycled into the concrete batching system. This process is advisable as it also reduces the requirement for clean mains water in the concrete batching process.
Recycled 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 RA in percentages of up to 50 wt.% is feasible
Thanks to material recycling in the cement industry, the mineral content of waste used as an alternative fuel serves as a raw material for the production of clinker, the main constituent in cement. In a nutshell, EU policy should: ssFoster the use of waste to achieve the EU targets set for waste recycling and resource efficiency.
The main waste associated with concrete batching is excess concrete. Also, any spilled concrete dust, sand or aggregate is considered a solid waste if not recoverable. Recycling will occur where possible. A sedimentation pit will trap wash down sediment and runoff from the concrete batching plant.
CDE washing plants for the recycling of construction, demolition, and excavation waste maximise material recovery and minimise waste. Our equipment is helping companies across the world divert over 15 million tonnes of C&D waste from landfill every year, creating high-value aggregates products.
Concrete Recycling • Breaking, removing and crushing hardened concrete from an acceptable source. • Old concrete pavements often are excellent sources of material for producing recycled concrete aggregate (RCA). • This webinar focuses primarily on RCA from existing pavements (not mixed C&D waste). 6
Your best solution for excess concrete materials at any concrete plant starts with simply addressing the issue, and developing a plan. Without a plan, your pile of “concrete waste” will likely continue to grow. With a well thought-out plan, you’ll find operational, compliance, and financial benefits you likely aren’t receiving now.
Switzerland-based company Eberhard Group has commissioned a new recycling plant that uses robotic arms featuring artificial intelligence (AI) technology, to improve the circular economy of its operations. Eberhard’s new EbiMIK recycling plant can process up to 200 t of mixed waste an hour using AI-powered robots.
Concrete recycling is becoming an increasingly popular way to utilize aggregate left behind when structures or roadways are demolished. In the past, this rubble was disposed of in landfills, but with more attention being paid to environmental concerns, concrete recycling allows reuse of the rubble while also keeping construction costs down.

Portable Recycling Plants Choosing the right crusher for a particular concrete recycling project depends on several factors to be successful/profitable. What goes into the crusher, what is used to feed it (loader or hoe) and what specification final product is needed determines the size, type, and capacity of the unit / units.

Cemex to convert Gádor cement plant site for waste recycling. Spain: Cemex has signed a Euro117m deal with the local government to convert the land used by the Gádor cement plant in Almeria for use by new projects. These will include projects in solar and wind power generation, waste fuel production from plastics and biomass and a new
Recycling plant for waste concrete. Screw conveyor for recycling waste concrete with soft start which prevents defects in case that screw is bloked. Electro motor power 5,5 kw. Pneumatic valves for automatic washing. Stirrer of waste water, with soft start and soft stop which prevents high forces on gearbox. Additional clutch for saving the
This project aims to use concrete in a circulair way. They reclaim the old concrete from buildings and put it into this mobile concrete recycling plant, whic...
The Recycling Myth. Big Oil’s solution for plastic waste littered with failure. Bales of plastic waste piled up at advanced recycling firm Renewlogy in Salt Lake City, Utah on May 18, 2021. The
The Ideal Recycling Concrete Batching Plant F2200. The F2200 is our most popular batching plant. It is flexible and can be set up and producing concrete within a day. No civil engineering is required. You can place it on flat ground, and away you go. With an output between 25 to 62m3 per hour, the payback period is between six to twelve months.
GO CIRCULAR. Alliance and CRDC to make concrete additive from plastic waste. 17 September, 2021. Alliance to end plastic waste plastic waste recycling. The partnership will establish a new plant in Pennsylvania and ramp up production in Costa Rica to serve a growing market for sustainable construction.

Materials like concrete not used at the jobsite and returned to the plant, fine concrete materials from concrete mixer truck washout, process water from concrete washing and production activities, concrete residue on the ground at a concrete plant, etc. So, is that concrete hazardous waste? That’s a bit more of a tricky answer.
Environmental Considerations in Concrete Recycling Webinar Learning Objectives • To understand RCA production and use factors potentially impacting environment, specifically: –Water quality –Air quality –Noise and other local impacts –Waste generation • To identify design/specification considerations that can reduce
The raw materials mainly refer to construction wastes, and the main finished products are recycled powders, recycled fine aggregates, and recycled coarse aggregates etc.. Using recycled aggregates to produce recycled concrete, mortar, and water stabilization crushed stone can effectively and reasonably reproduce construction wastes into a variety of construction materials.
Recycling concrete helps reduce construction waste and extend the life of landfills as well as saving builders disposal or tipping fees. It also reduces transportation costs because concrete can often be recycled in areas near the demolition or construction site. If builders are seeking LEED Green Building certification, they can receive points
the four recycling plants in Catalonia. Three of these plants produce mixed aggregates derived from concrete waste, while one plant produces aggregates for concrete with purity close to 100%. This company has been used as a reference in this work. It has a mobile crusher plant,
The life cycle of a recycled concrete product is divided into four phases based on where a process is taking place. The first phase (source/plant) takes in the production of all of the raw materials except for the RA and DCLs. The second phase occurs in a recycling plant where the waste concrete is processed and crushed into RA and DCLs.
