Circular materials as concrete alternatives to virgin materials
As a global resource company, we specialise in recycling and recovery across multiple waste streams, including incinerator bottom ash (IBA), construction and demolition waste (C&D Waste), contaminated or uncontaminated surplus soil, as well as tar-containing asphalt. We transform these complex materials into renewed resources for construction and infrastructure projects as alternatives to virgin materials such as sand and gravel.
Aggregates from construction and demolition, such as crushed concrete or crushed asphalt, are referred to as recycled crushed aggregates and come in various dimensions and qualities, depending on their further application. See our country specific selection of recycled crushed aggregates in:
Recycled crushed aggregates from C&D waste
Construction and demolition waste streams include heavy C&D waste materials such as concrete, asphalt, bricks and tile. At Blue Phoenix we receive, process and crush these materials at selected facilities for either direct recycling in new concrete or asphalt products or as recycled crushed aggregates to be used in infrastructure and construction projects to supplement or all-out replace the use or virgin materials. Recycled crushed concrete aggregate, also referred to as recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) or simply crushed concrete is particularly known for its quality and broad application in new infrastructure and construction projects. Application purposes of recycled crushed aggregates vary from country to country, but may include:
Concrete and asphalt manufacturing
Road construction (base and sub-base materials)
Temporary, unsurfaced roads or trails
Landscaping
Railway construction
Pipe and cable trenches (various utility projects)
Noice barriers and coastal protection projects
Biodiversity projects
Benefits of using recycled crushed aggregates
The main benefit when using recycled crushed aggregates in either production or construction is related to saving non-renewable virgin materials. The need for infrastructure development in society is a matter of upmost priority and security, and the use of recycled crushed materials offers a viable alternative to the use of virgin materials in a long range of large and smaller scale projects. Other benefits include:
- Significant cost savings
- Comparable or increased application strength
- Reduced transport costs (C02)
- Circularity and sustainability reporting (for instance DGNB or Ecolabel)
Safe applications
Every decision we make, every action we take, is built on a safe and responsible foundation. This naturally also applies to the production and application of recycled crushed aggregates.
We understand that the application of recycled crushed aggregates varies from country to country and sometimes even from municipality to municipality. Therefore, our recycled crushed aggregates are produced in accordance with local legislation and practices. We offer clients free quality reporting related to our aggregates, and in many cases even an EPD (Environmental Product Declaration) for the material to better evaluate its environmental and climate-related impact.
