Construction and Demolition Waste-based “Green” Demountable Structural Components
ABOUT
Construction and demolition waste (CDW) constitutes the largest volume of all solid wastes. As such, it poses not only an economic burden but also a threat to the environment. Made up of a mix of materials generated during the construction and demolition of buildings or structures, the recycling of CDW remains a challenge. The EU-funded CodeDEMO project will develop an environment-friendly solution for the development of a new material: a geopolymeric concrete mixture obtained from CDW, to produce large structural modules snapped into place quickly and easily without wasting energy or creating waste. CodeDEMO will dramatically improve the environmental performance of treatment methods, maximise resource efficiency, reduce waste generation, and maximise reuse and recycling.
