Natural & Recycled Aggregates

A new article in the C & D World Magazine expresses how inportant it is to recycle concrete & asphalt

This article is from an excellent news report from the World Business Council fro Sustainable Development 's Cement Sustainability Initiative (CSI) that argues recycling concrete reduces natural resource exploitation and waste going to landfill.  It asks for an ultimate goal of "Zero landfill" of concrete.  The report also states:

• An estimate 25 billion metric tons of concrete is manufactured globally every year.
• Global data on concrete waste generation is not available, but data is collected in some countries, e.g. the U.S., Japan, and European countries where approximately 900 million tons of construction and demolition waste (containing between 20% and 80% concrete) are generated yearly.  However, different definitions and measurements methods make a comparison very difficult.
• While in some countries near full recovery of concrete is achieved in most parts of the world, the potential to recover concrete is overlooked, and it ends up as unnecessary waste in landfill.
