Analysis of the Waste Recycling Process for Non-Structural Concrete Manufacturing

Abstract

One of the major challenges facing society, in order to avoid environmental degradation and the contamination of water and soil sources, is the adequate disposal of industrial and urban waste. The area of construction is also considered to be the most harmful to the environment, especially as regards the waste of natural resources and the gradual increase of waste. This study aims to analyze the waste recycling process for the manufacture of non-structural concrete, promoting the practice of waste recycling as a sustainable alternative for the disposal of the debris. In order to respond to the research objectives, the methodological choice was a bibliographical review of the integrative type. The study showed that waste recycling is a sustainable alternative for waste disposal, reducing the chances of deposition in clandestine sites, helping to relieve pressure on landfills and allowing reuse of previously discarded materials.

Sustainability in the scope of civil construction: recycling of solid waste in concrete manufacturing

“…Posto isso, a fim de minimizar tais impactos, é imprescindível um gerenciamento adequado dos RCD, usufruindo de ferramentas como a reciclagem dos materiais, a reutilização quando possível ou o descarte final de maneira ambientalmente correta, além de um planejamento estratégico da obra a ser realizada visando o uso racional dos recursos e materiais, evitando o desperdício, contribuindo para a redução de custos, menor geração de resíduos e promovendo a sustentabilidade em suas atividades (Oliveira;Camico;Soares, 2019).…”
