General information on recycled aggregates

Recycled aggregates refer to crushed cement concrete or asphalt pavement derived from construction debris, which is then reused in other construction projects.Asphalt pavement can be recovered from roads, parking lots and runways, while cement concrete can be collected from bridges, sidewalks and roads. After collection and processing, these recycled aggregates can be used in the construction of cycle paths, road shoulders and many other aspects of construction.The use of recycled materials in construction is a sustainable approach in the construction industry. It has many benefits, such as reducing the need for virgin aggregates, cutting energy consumption, reducing waste going to landfill, and reducing emissions. Not only is it an excellent environmental option, but using recycled aggregates also saves money and can contribute to obtaining credits towards environmental certification.
