Recover a resource
Suitable concrete can be processed into aggregate instead of being discarded.
02 / Concrete recycling
Recover the material. Rethink its next use.
Concrete recycling connects material preparation, mechanical processing and an appropriate end use. Here is how the general process fits together.
02 / The transformation
A process.
A new possibility.
From demolition concrete to potential aggregate.
Explore the general recycling journey.
Stage 01
Understand the input
Identify the concrete source, condition and potential contaminants before planning a recycling route.
Origin / Composition / Project requirementsStage 02
Prepare the material
Separate unsuitable debris and recover reinforcing steel as appropriate. Material preparation supports the next stage.
Sorting / Debris removal / Metal separationStage 03
Reduce and process
Mechanical crushing reduces concrete into smaller particles. Screening separates the processed material by size.
Size reduction / Crushing / ScreeningStage 04
Evaluate the next use
Assess the recovered aggregate against the intended application. Reuse depends on material quality and project specifications.
Material quality / Specifications / ReuseGeneral process illustration. Project scope and BDA operating arrangements require confirmation.
Why recycle concrete?
Industrial recovery.
Practical value.
Consider the whole route
Processing and transport affect feasibility. Material quality and the destination matter.
Match the application
Recycled aggregate must meet the requirements of the intended use. Recycling alone does not guarantee suitability.
Your material. Your next project.
