Use Fibrillated Polypropylene Fibres in flooring, pavement and roof screeding to control shrinkage and temperature cracks. Fibres are replacement for temperature steel in concrete flooring and pavement. #duracrete #flooring #pavement #rooftop

Siniat’s metal framing products are a good example of “#circular products” and the closed loop usage model. End-of-life refers to the end of a product’s life cycle. In the case of building products, this stage is often the #deconstruction of the building it was installed in. According to the 2018 National Waste Report, we know that an average of 90% of the metal products produced in Australia are recycled at end-of-life by factories that produce new steel that then goes back into the loop. Siniat uses BlueScope steel with 25% #recycled content to make our products. We have also made significant progress in the reduction of the scrap we generate on site, with 50% less waste compared to 2016. All on-site waste we generate in the manufacture of our metal products is recycled. #Circularity is one of the pillars of the Etex Road to Sustainability 2030, and an important part of our sustainability strategy.

These LECA Blocks Have Places To Go. Light Expanded Clay Aggregate presents unique recycling challenges - these tough, lightweight blocks resist conventional crushing methods. But ALLU's two-stage approach changes the game. The DH 3-17 with X75 drums handles the pre-crushing phase, breaking down those stubborn blocks. Then the DN 3-12 with TS 8 Axe drums steps in for precise sizing, creating material perfect for new concrete production. This efficient process turns what used to be waste into valuable aggregate, replacing gravel in new concrete while making it lighter and improving insulation properties. Two buckets, two stages, zero waste - this is how smart recycling pays off. See ALLU recycling solutions: https://bit.ly/3D6l18w #ALLUgroup #OneStepAhead #screeningbucket #construction

A good use of plastic waste materials is by using in building materials! 

Huge thanks to Martin Marietta North Bridgeport Quarry and Martin Marietta Bridgeport Stone Plant. These two plants allowed us to show our full capability between demolition, dismantlement, asset relocation, and of course recycling. Special thanks to: Kyle Wesselhoft Judsen Adams Carlos Sandate Matthew Jenkins With the help of these gentlemen and their teams we were able to recycle over 2,700,000 pounds of steel. This steel will be used to create the products we all use and love every day. Through our Recycled Materials Impact Assessment we can estimate what resources are saved by using recycled steel in an electric arc furnace versus creating new steel using raw materials in a blast furnace. 2,731,760 pounds of recycled steel is estimated to save the following: -    11,364,122 gallons of water -    4,097,640 kilowatts of energy -    6,829,400 pounds of Iron Ore -    3,278,112 pounds of coal -    81,953 pounds of limestone -   13,658,800 pounds of Co2 In addition to the steel that was recycled we also repurposed over 138,000 pounds of poly pipe. Reuse versus creating new saves an additional: - 138,810 gallons of water - 416 kilowatts of energy - 135,340 pounds of resin - 3,470 pounds of additives - 1041 pounds of colorants - 347,025 pounds of Co2 Thank you Martin Marietta for you commitment to sustainable practices and leading by example. #onebillionpoundsrecycled

Sustainability in the Foundry Industry, with a Focus on Environmental Impact In today's world, where environmental concerns are gaining more attention, adopting green practices is not only beneficial for the planet but also for business success. Here at Harrop Casting Technologies, we are committed to sustainability through various initiatives: We recycle all our aluminium alloys. Utilizing a 99.6kw solar system and timers for energy efficiency, reducing our carbon footprint. Investing in sand reclamation, recovering 70% of sand for reuse and collaborating with other businesses to utilize the remaining 30% as raw material, reducing sand disposal and pollution effects. Maintaining a focus on minimal scrap rates, currently below 1%. Managing wastewater and pollution through controlled equipment monitored by certified auditors and licensed by the EPA. We are dedicated to reducing our environmental impact, implementing action plans to enhance efficiency and minimise waste. Want to know more about us?

Designed to support and speed up a real #green #transition, HORIEN Salt Battery Solutions’ batteries set a new standard in eco-friendly and alternative energy options. Tune in to know more about them. #recyclability #green #transition #saltbattery

Our mission: closing the loop! Cement and concrete are high-quality and much needed building materials that require a lot of energy to produce. This makes it all the more important to utilise their full potential and strengthen circularity along the entire value chain. As a next step towards our circularity and carbon reduction targets, we have now commissioned an innovative recycling plant for selective separation at the Heidelberg Materials production site near Katowice, Poland: The first-of-its-kind facility features a proprietary crushing mechanism that enables sophisticated separation and sorting capabilities to fully recycle demolition concrete and substitute virgin materials in concrete production. By also recovering recycled concrete paste (RCP), our patented ReConcrete process combines circularity with decarbonisation. RCP can then be used as an alternative raw material in clinker production or as an alternative cementitious material. In addition, it can absorb and permanently bind CO₂.

HORIEN Salt Battery Solutions offer superior & #unique #recyclability: designed with #green #transition in mind, these batteries set a high standard in eco-friendly energy solutions. The battery module stands out with an impressive recyclability rate of 96%, underscoring its strong contribution to product sustainability. SMC batteries are composed of three key elements: cells (65% of the total mass), battery cases (27%), and Battery Management Systems (BMS) (8%). HORIEN SBS has established partnerships with specialized recycling companies to ensure full recyclability of our products. Ceramics and salt from the batteries are reused for road slag, while metallic components are processed into metal alloys. The battery cells are efficiently recycled in facilities designed to handle waste from stainless steel production. These recycling processes not only recover valuable re-melt alloys for stainless steel manufacturing but also produce slag for road construction projects. #recyclability #green #transition #saltbattery

GREEN CONCRETE with Plastic ( Rock forming process) ------------------------ Plastic fine particulates along with Flyash, Iron and Steel Slags and other industrial wastes, aggregate , mineral admixture and polymer cement has been used to develop concrete for road and other precast building material products like brick, block and pavement tiles etc. ■ This inovation is a Portland cement free process. ■ A specially and innovative Polymer cement has been developed to replace Portland cement in making green construction materials. Shareing below a casting of concrete mix specimen incorporated with Plastic fines which after atmospheric and water curing attains about 20 -40 Mpa crushing strength on 20 days. ■The Plastic particulates are embedded in rock forming silicate matrix. However more experimental work is required to optimize the process for making high strength road application concrete and also to evaluate the effects of plastic particulates in the reaction process and also the product durability.
