“…Whilst the compressive strengths for series ST, T8 and T12 were significantly lower than those of the control series C and series T30 (structural strength class), their mechanical performances before and after the freeze/thaw cycles suggested that the rubberised mortar and concrete could be used for non-structural civil engineering applications, such as non-load-bearing elements (walls, hollow blocks, bricks), lightweight concrete, pavements and road applications (asphalt, road barriers) [ 34 , 57 , 58 , 59 , 60 , 61 ].…”

There is a growing concern for finding alternative solutions to construction materials in order to minimise their environmental impact as well as enhancing their service life. This study investigated the durability of cementitious mortars prepared by replacing fine aggregate (sand) with recycled tyre shreds and crumbs, aiming at providing an alternative outlet to tyre waste disposal. Tyre shreds obtained at different particle sizes, from fibres of 0.5–5.0 mm to crumbs of 0.1–0.85 mm in diameter, were used as fine aggregate replacement at 20% by volume. The strength of the mortar samples, their thermal conductivity and their water absorption rate were tested at the age of 28 days and after 20 freeze/thaw cycles. The results showed that the mortar containing tyre crumbs at lower particle sizes resulted in negligible shrinkage, improved freeze/thaw resistance, a reduced water absorption by up to 52% and an improved thermal resistivity.

“…Particleboards can be obtained by using waste wood formwork, as shown in (Hossain et al, 2018) or in (He et al, 2019), and can be transformed into cement-bonded particleboards using MOC (magnesium oxide cement) as a green cement-based binder (Maier and Manea, 2022), so it presents a practical and environmentally friendly option for the management of construction wood waste. Other materials, such as tire fibers or biomass ash, can be added to the mixture of chipboard in addition to wood waste (Amiandamhen et al, 2021).…”

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the possibilities of implementing the principles of circular economy in the wood construction industry. The general context of the research is characterized by the new and more demanding challenges regarding the environmental protection issues arising from the current rhythm of development of modern society. One way of responding to these challenges is to transform our consumption society into a more sustainable one. The circular economy has recently become a focal point of European Union policy for transforming production and consumption toward a more sustainable and environmentally friendly direction. The circular economy is mainly related to the use of materials after their life cycle and must be implemented at the design stage of a product or system. However, the meaning and implementation of the concept often remain vague and ambiguous. The construction industry is one of the sectors that use a lot of natural resources, put a lot of pressure on the environment, and generates large amounts of waste. The focus of this research is on wood construction and the possibilities of better use of the potential of wood. Through the implementation of the circular economy principles, wood waste can be used furthermore in the product industry and if further research will be carried out it will bring great benefits to businesses, including economic gains in addition to the environmental ones.

“…In term of renewability, biodegradability, low density and outstanding mechanical property, wood ber (WF) is considered as a promising reinforcement in the substitution of conventional ones, such as glass ber and carbon ber, and is integrated with polymer into sustainable and green composites (Väisänen et al, 2017;Kumar et al, 2021). Now, wood-plastic composites (WPC) have been applied widely in construction, household and automotive elds, not only achieving high-e ciency utilization of plastic wastes in a sustainable way, but also substituting solid wood products to avoid deforestation of natural forests (Guo et al, 2019;Amiandamhen et al, 2021). However, hydrophilic WF often exhibits poor interfacial compatibility with most hydrophobic polymers, resulting in WF aggregation in polymer matrix and weak interfacial adhesion, as re ected by low strength of the resulting composites (Jubinville et al, 2021).…”
