Concrete with recycled aggregates

Concrete with recycled aggregates is a special type of concrete in which the processed, reclaimed aggregates come from building demolition or other demolition projects. These recycled aggregates replace all or part of the natural coarse aggregates in the concrete.

The key advantages summarized briefly:

Conservation of natural resources:

Concrete made with recycled aggregates reduces the environmental impact because fewer natural raw materials need to be extracted.

Local availability:

Material storage sites for concrete containing recycled aggregates can be located near the construction site, which reduces transportation costs and emissions.

Sustainability:

When combined with clinker-reduced cements, concrete with good sustainability properties can be produced.
