INTRODUCTION
Construction waste recycling is the separation and
recycling of recoverable waste materials generated during
construction and remodeling.
Construction by nature is not an eco-friendly activity.
Construction and demolition wastes are one of the largest
waste streams in the country.
It costs less usually much less to recycle job site wastes
than to throw them away.
In total, from almost any job site, 90% to 95% of all waste
materials can be recycled.
OBJECTIVE
For Sustainable development of structural
engineering.
To reduce or utilize the waste generated from
structures.
To use various waste materials in construction units.
To find the alternative of basic materials which are
used in construction from past many years.
NEED FOR ADOPTION OF PROPER
METHODS OF RECYCLING
a)It reduces the demand up on new resources.
b)Cuts down the cost and effort of transport and
production.
c) Use waste which would otherwise be lost to landfill
sites.
FACTORS THAT ASSESS THE
QUALITY OF RECYCLED
AGGREGATE
Size distribution:- that recycled aggregates either fine
or coarse can be obtained by crushing.
Absorption :- high in recycled aggregates than in
natural aggrigates
Abrasion resistance :- Use of such aggregates as sub
base in flexible pavements show promising results
PROPERTIES OF FRESH RECYCLED
AGGREGATE CONCRETE

The air content of recycled aggregate concrete is

slightly higher ( 4-5 % ) than concrete with natural
aggregate.
Bulk density of recycled concrete is less than fresh
concrete,
VIABLE TECHNOLOGY ON CONSTRUCTION
WASTE RECYCLING

When considering a recyclable material, three major

areas need to be taken in to account are:
Economy
Compatibility with other materials
Material properties
COMMANLY RECOVERED CONSTRUCTION
MATERIALS
Asphalt Paving
Land Clearing Residuals
Wood
Gypsum Wallboard
Buildings
Metals
Concrete
Roofing(non-asphalt shingles)
Brick
Asphalt
Paving
Asphalt is crushed
and recycled back
into new asphalt.
Recycled asphalt
paving can used
for paved road.
 Land Clearing Residuals

Trees and brushcan be recycled as

compost or mulch; soil can be reused as
fill and cover
Wood
Reuse timbers, large dimension lumber, plywood, flooring, molding, lumber
longer than 6 feet. Clean, untreated wood can be recycled, re-milled into
flooring, or chipped/ground to make engineered board, boiler fuel.
Gypsum Wallboard

Remove and recycle gypsum drywall. Markets

include new drywall manufacture, cement
manufacture, and agriculture. Unused drywall
can be returned to a supplier, donated, or sold.
Buildings
Reuse large portions of existing structures during renovation or
redevelopment. Extending the life cycle of existing building stock
will conserve resources, retain cultural resources, reduce waste, and
reduce environmental impacts of new buildings.
Metals
Common metals include steel, aluminum, and copper. Metals
are melted down and reformed into metal products.
Concrete
It is crushed, the
reinforcement bar is
removed, and the
material is screened
for size. Market
outlets for recycled
concrete include
road base, general
fill, pavement
aggregate, and
drainage media.
Brick
Recycle clean brick by crushing material. Market
outlets for recycled brick include aggregate, drainage
media, and general fill.
Roofing(non-asphalt shingles)
Reuse sheathing, terracotta, slate, or untreated
cedar tiles, Metal materials can also be recycled
BENEFITS
Reduces the production of greenhouse
gas emissions and other pollutants by
reducing the need to extract raw
materials and ship new materials long
distances.
Conserves landfill space, reduces the
need for new landfills and their
associated cost.
 Saves energy and reduces the
environmental impact of producing
new materials.
Creates employment opportunities and
economic activities in recycling
industries.
Saves money
BARRIERS IN PROMOTING USE OF
RECYCLED MATERIALS

Lack of appropriately located recycling

facilities.
Absence of appropriate technology.
Lack of awareness .
Poor source separation practices at job
sites
How to get start for it
Developing market for recycled
products
Public Education, Training and
Technical Assistance
Additional Policy Recommendations
Promoting recycling
CONCLUSION
In order to reduce the construction
waste, during the time of construction
order only the correct amount of raw
materials.
As sorting and recycling facilities
become more wide spread and better
developed it will be easier to redirect
our waste from landfill.
