Recycled cements drive down emissions without slacking on strength

Engineers uncover surprising secret to stronger buildings — and it might be hiding in your fridge

Scientists found that using eggshell waste in fired clay bricks can improve their thermal insulation and create more stability, according to a recent study in Scientific Reports. Researchers sought to tackle two growing problems contributing to polluting gases: residential power consumption and waste production.  Using Egyptian buildings as a case study, they explained that many interiors overheat throughout the day due to solar heat gain in the…

Recycled cements drive down emissions without slacking on strength

Giving a second life to construction materials after demolition, engineers at the University of São Paulo and Princeton have developed an approach for recycling cement waste into a sustainable, low-carbon alternative that is comparable in performance to the industry standard.

Circular cement makes for strong and green concrete

Researchers have found a way to take waste concrete from demolition sites and turn it into fresh new concrete that has a strength not seen before from such a product. The breakthrough could lead to significant emissions reductions in the building sector.

Advanced Recycling Solutions with ACDE® Europe

The construction and demolition industries generate millions of tons of waste materials every year, making efficient recycling and material separation a key priority.

Recycled cements drive down emissions without slacking on strength - Tech and Science Post

Giving a second life to construction materials after demolition, engineers at the University of São Paulo and Princeton have developed an approach for recycling cement waste into a sustainable, low-carbon alternative that is comparable in performance to the industry standard. In addition to lowering the carbon intensity of the cement and concrete industry, the process could enable new uses for construction and demolition waste, of which concrete…
