Sustainable concrete waste recycling
Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers - Construction Materials, 2008Massive volumes of construction waste will be generated by the demolition of older structures such as power stations that were built more than 30 years ago. It is essential to reuse such construction waste from a life-cycle assessment (LCA) perspective and for effective recycling of construction resources.
