Read moreConstruction and demolition (C&D) recycling refers to the practice of recovering, sorting, and processing materials that are generated during the construction, demolition, or renovation of buildings, roads, and other structures. This process typically involves the recovery of wood, concrete, metals, masonry, insulation, plastics, and other materials that would otherwise be sent to landfills.
Construction and demolition waste (C&D waste) primarily consist of debris that is collected during construction, renovation, and demolition of roads, bridges, and buildings, for example, materials such as:
The goal of C&D recycling is to reduce the amount of waste that is generated during construction and demolition activities, conserve natural resources, and reduce the environmental impact of these activities. The recovered materials can be used as feedstock for new products, reducing the need for virgin materials, and preserving finite resources.
Everyone in the construction and demolition industry can contribute by reducing waste, using materials better, and collecting waste for recycling.
The general purpose of C&D waste recycling is to process the input into valuable materials such as wood, RDF, paper, and ferrous and non-ferrous metals and minimize the waste fraction sent to landfills.
The process of C&D recycling typically involves several key steps:
C&D recycling companies produce valuable materials such as wood chips, aggregates, and metals.
For C&D recycling companies, concrete recycling is becoming an increasingly popular way to utilize aggregate left behind when demolished structures or roadways.
The most common type of C&D wood generated is dimensional lumber. Still, plywood, treated wood, and manufactured wood such as composite panels can come into a C&D recycling company.
Ferrous and non-ferrous metals can be sorted out from construction and demolition waste with a well-designed recovery process.
