Life cycle inventory of recycled aggregates derived from construction and demolition waste

Candida Fachinetto Paz et al.

Summary: This study aims to identify environmental aspects that can be improved during the derivation of recycled aggregates (RAs) from construction and demolition waste (CDW). The Life Cycle Inventory of RAs is established, considering the gate to gate scope. The study highlights the importance of optimizing transport emissions in the environmental impact of recycled aggregates.

Utilization of construction and demolition waste and synthetic aggregates

Mona S. Mohammed et al.

Summary: C&D waste can be used as concrete aggregate to reduce environmental problems and protect natural resources. Different methods for enhancing the quality of recycled concrete aggregate have been proposed, with carbonation and pozzolan slurry considered the best methods. Research on the resistivity of lightweight concrete containing autoclaved lightweight aggregate is needed.

Sustainability assessment of Construction and Demolition Waste management applied to an Italian case

Silvia Iodice et al.

Summary: This study focuses on the socio-economic and environmental implications of Construction and Demolition Waste management in the Campania Region, Italy, investigating three scenarios: Status Quo, Linear Economy, and Best Practice. It highlights the significant potential environmental and social benefits of best practices, such as saving CO2 emissions and creating additional jobs, but also points out that economic costs may hinder their application.

Financial and economic evaluation of construction and demolition waste recycling in Hanoi, Vietnam

Ngoc Han Hoang et al.

Summary: This study evaluates the potential for Construction and Demolition Waste (CDW) recycling in Hanoi, Vietnam, finding that demand for recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) exceeds supply, suggesting a promising market. The feasibility of a stationary recycling plant as an investment option is supported by positive Net Present Value and Internal Rate of Return values, while the introduction of mobile recycling plants may require government intervention to internalize positive externalities.
