RE:Concrete - Study on Recycling of Concrete in Sweden
نویسنده
چکیده
Sweden’s concrete waste is recycled for use in low-utility purposes such as in the construction of sub-bases in roads but hardly as aggregates in new concrete. To analyse the potential for high-utility recycling, a literature study was conducted on the regulatory instruments, building standards, production and properties of recycled concrete aggregates and the recycled aggregate concrete for Sweden and European countries. Results urge statistics to quantify recycled concrete; regulations like source sorting of waste and selective demolition could potentially optimize recycled aggregate production. Also, the compressive strength of recycled concrete aggregate’s parent concrete influences the properties of the new concrete.

Problem: The demand of beverages in PET bottles is constantly increasing. In this context, environmental, technological and regulatory aspects set a stronger focus on recycling. Generally, the reuse of recycled material from post-consumer PET bottles in bottle-to-bottle applications is seen as least environmentally harmful. However, closedloop systems are not widely implemented in Europe. Previ...

متن کاملDevelopment of an Innovative Technique for Demolition Concrete Up-cycling: a Response to Mitigate GHG’s Emissions and Natural Resources Depletion
Concrete is the second most used material worldwide and the first used man-made material. Its production entails large emissions of GHG due to lime decarbonation during the clinkering process, as well as large consumption of non-renewable minerals and natural aggregates. Currently legislative pressure aiming at preserving natural resources is growing tighter on natural aggregates extraction, wh...
متن کاملRheological and Mechanical Properties of Light Weight Self-Compacting Concrete Containing Sirjan Iron Mine Waste
Recycling is a logical option for materials that are not suitable for composting. One of these materials is iron mines waste that, according to their compounds, can be used as a substitute part of cement in concrete. For this aim, rheological and mechanical properties and durability of light weight self-compacting concrete (LWSCC) containing Sirjan iron mine waste (SIMW) as partial substitute o...
