Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to focus on optimization of recycling of concrete from lightweight aggregates containing expanded glass and hard polyurethane (PU) and on the issue of importance of environmental management in constructions, to produce the new combination using rest, construction waste of concrete from lightweight aggregates and hard PU new raw components of concrete from ...

Introduction The vitrification of nuclear waste in joule-heated melters is a costly multi-decade national effort. Current operations at the Defense Waste Processing Facility (DWPF) and future operations at the Waste Treatment Plant (WTP), now under construction at Hanford, rely on predictive models because of the lack of on-line monitoring of most processing parameters. This necessitates conser...

Abstract This article aims at presenting the economic impacts of implementing basic principles construction demolition waste management in terms saving costs. Emphasis is placed on fulfilling 3R principle, i.e. reducing waste, reusing it, and recycling resources products. Construction represents largest mass flow EU, e.g. 2018, it represented 36% total production whole EU- 27. The European Unio...

The European construction industry is supposed to consume the 40% of the natural European resources and to generate the 40% of the European solid waste. Conscious of the great damage being suffered by the environment because of construction activity, this work tries to provide the building actors with a new tool to improve the current situation. The tool proposed is a model for the comprehensiv...

The population of our country is increasing rapidly and due to it plastic waste is also increasing day to day due to urbanization, development activities and changes in life style, which leading extensive environment pollution. Thus disposal of waste plastic is a threat and become a serious problem globally due to their nonbiodegradability and anaesthetic view. Since these are not disposed scie...
