We make it happen again: Circularity in action... A recent study by Imperial College London stressed the potential of Recycled Concrete Paste (RCP). Of the 10 technologies studied, the researchers found that recycled cement paste made from demolished concrete was the most effective and economical. At Heidelberg Materials, we are putting this from theory into practice right now with our new plant for selective separation near Katowice, Poland. What I find particularly exciting: The plant can process up to 100 tonnes of demolished concrete per hour. The unique crushing mechanism enables sophisticated separation and sorting capabilities obtaining aggregates and Recycled Concrete Paste of the highest quality. This makes us the first company in the industry to introduce this unique separation process at such a scale and quality. #HeidelbergMaterials #Sustainability #Innovation #Recycling

Rubberised Asphalt in Europe between myths and reality In Europe, roads in urban areas account for 20.1% of the total road network by length, which are travelled by the above mentioned 67,5% of the population. This heavy usage leads to significant wear and tear on asphalt, necessitating frequent and costly maintenance. In these contexts, the use of recycled materials, such as recycled rubber, to construct or maintain roads is recommended to reduce the amount of waste and polluting emissions and have better performance. Rubberized asphalts are not only technically viable but also more sustainable. However, despite these advantages, the adoption and implementation of rubberized asphalts are not as widespread as they could be, due to various resistances and obstacles Costis Keridis is Managing Director of Keridis Group of Companies in Greece. His company operates - for more than 45 years – limestone quarries, asphalt plants and tyre recycling plants since 2011. The company uses RTMs in bitumen modification for asphalt mixes and in bales for earth-works. For the past twenty years he has been concentrated on developing Greek interest in the use of tyre rubber modified bitumen in road construction and completed several projects in Athens. He developed one of the first certified private Bitumen and Road Material Laboratories in Greece, and is a partner in two LIFE funded projects that will be presented during the conference. He is a Vice President of ETRA representing Greece and the road construction industry. Discover more at the workshop “Recycled materials and Public works: How to reduce the gap?” focused on enhancing Public Authority engagement in best practices and Green Procurement. Date: 20 November 2024 Time: 10:30 – 16:00 Venue: ITeC - Institut de Tecnologia de la Construcció de Catalunya , Carrer de Wellington, 19, Sant Martí, Barcelona, Spain The full information about the event is available on the website: https://lnkd.in/d6iGJ5vv You may register via the link: https://lnkd.in/e4vHE63a All interested parties are welcome! #RePlanCityLife #recycling #RecycledMaterials #GreenPublicProcurement #SustainableDevelopment #CircularEconomy #sustainability #LIFEprojects #Asphalt #RubberisedAsphalt #Roads

Recognizing the immense value of concrete in construction while acknowledging its devastating effects on the environment is a significant challenge and paradox our industry faces. ❓ Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) vs. Waste Generation ❓ Cement Replacements vs. Phasing Out Fossil Fuels ❓ Electrical Energy Generation and Storage vs. Mining of Rare Metals and Battery Recycling ❓ Paper Hand Towels vs. Air Dryers in Toilets 😊 The list goes on and we, environmental professionals, must navigate through these dilemmas on a daily basis, with assumptions, with heart, often with doubts, rarely with certainty. (although for the paper hand towels there are a few good publications already…) 👉🏻 Recently, I had the privilege of attending an event by Heidelberg Materials UK focused on sustainability and carbon emissions/reductions. Kicking off with insights from Roger Harrabin’s 40+ years of experience in climate change, it set a tone both sobering and hopeful. Simon Sharpe’s book “Five Times Faster” was mentioned, highlighting the widening gap between necessary actions and current efforts. The discussions covered EU regulations, global trends, waste circularity, and Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS). An impressive case study was the Brevik plant, capturing 400,000 tons of CO2 annually, with plans for a larger facility close to the already famous Wrexham, in Padeswood, Wales. 💡It sounds like a good idea to prevent CO2 emissions from contributing further to the greenhouse effect. Yes it does. The technology mirrors what the large scale CCS facilities, Climeworks’ Orca and Mammoth in Iceland, do. It pumps the captured CO2 deep underground “where it mineralizes and can be stored permanently for thousands of years” 💡It also sounds like a good idea to try and minimise these emissions in the first place, if not remove them altogether. It certainly is the first step and I know our partners at Heidelberg Materials UK are working hard on this too. 💡It sounds like a good idea to try and use alternative construction materials, particularly biosourced, like sustainable timber… As environmental professionals, we continuously explore all possible avenues to address our Climate Crisis. With assumptions, with heart, often with doubts, and rarely with certainty, we push forward. #Sustainability #ClimateChange #CarbonCapture #Construction #EnvironmentalImpact #Innovation #CircularEconomy
