The concrete buildings when demolished brings in a huge amount of waste materials, and especially the construction sites are some of the major sources of waste matters such as rubble, concrete, dust and so on. The Demolition and constructions sites are the biggest sources of concrete waste. Dealing with such large volumes of waste is not easy and it becomes a hassle to manage so much single handedly without any expert assistance. Depending on the size of the construction site and the project, the volume of waste can vary from moderate to excessive, and for this, professional aid is very essential, as only a team of dextrous people can help you in recycling, disposing and managing them overall.
Hence, concrete waste management and recycling is a very eco-friendly smart, cost-efficient and environmentally safe way to reuse aggregate left behind when structures are demolished or heavily renovated. The concrete waste materials can either be taken to the landfills to be dumped in heaps or can also be transferred to the recycling plans to reuse them.
Thus, here are some of the benefits of concrete waste disposal and recycling that will motivate you to hire a waste management company at the soonest.
Landfills are not bothered
When the building is renovated or completely demolished, the debris, bricks, and other waste particles are transported to the nearest landfill. With growing population, the amount of waste materials and trash is also rising, and eventually there will be a time when we will run out of enough landfill space. Thus, when you choose to recycle them for further use, the concrete gets crushed and
instead of dumping in a clogged landfill, the resulting materials can be used to construct something more in future, be it road, or foundation for pipe bedding.
Concrete is non-biodegradable
Concrete is a non-biodegradable waste material, and hence disposing them only will bring in a lot of environmental problems. Thus, just like plastic and cardboard recycling, it also better to recycle the concrete materials so that they do not pose any threat to the soil, water or earth, and pose problems for the entombment.
Reduces the need for Mining
The recycling of concrete materials only give way to usable aggregate, that consumes lesser energy. Thus, less mining means more valuable resources for the next generations, and this is possible only we make sure to manage the concrete waste by recycling them, and giving way to new products. The gravel mining is a procedure that negatively impacts the environment, be it by polluting the air or water quality and affecting the health of the communities living near. Thus, using recycled concrete is a great alternative to mining.
Huge application
Once you have hired the professionals to recycle the concrete waste, you get a lot of other benefits that is not related directly to the environment. The recycled concrete can be used in many construction projects, soil stabilisation, pipe bedding, ready mix concrete and exposed aggregate concrete.
