Upcycling of building rubble with HPC and UHPC concrete binder systems

Building rubble or demolition material is a very valuable raw material today, its reuse (upcycling), in our opinion, a very important step for sustainability, reduction of raw material requirements, energy reduction in production and reduction of CO2.

Many architects and designers already work in their designs with materials that have become interesting building materials again through upcycling. Old makes new.

 

In Europe there are more and more companies that have specialized in the processing of used building materials. You are preparing demolition material for a new use in your own plant or already on the construction site. The demolition material is sorted and broken according to quality and color.
In conjunction with our HPC or UHPC binder systems, old building materials obtained through demolition are transformed into interesting new building materials with amazing properties.
The sorted and broken waste material is processed with an HPC binder material for later use as an aggregate in a very simple work step. After processing, the demolition material is suitable for processing with HPC or UHPC binder material and water into high-quality concrete, mortar and floor coverings. Plastics, rubber, porcelain and glass can also be processed as aggregates.

With HPC or UHPC casting binder systems, prefabricated elements or bricks can be produced.

New floor coverings can be produced from milled asphalt road surfaces in a few simple operations. This
processing process could be carried out directly on site with the appropriate screening and mixing machines.
