The American Concrete Institute. Founded in 1904 and headquartered in Farmington Hills, Michigan, USA, the American Concrete Institute is a leading authority and resource worldwide for the development, dissemination, and adoption of its consensus-based standards, technical resources, educational programs, and proven expertise for …

Additionally, the Institute has published Recycling Concrete and other Materials for Sustainable Development. The Concrete Convention and Exposition in Denver, CO, USA, November 8-12, 2015, will be hosting presentations on Concrete with Recycled Materials, as well as Concrete Sustainability Forum 8. Global experts will …

In a paper published in Construction and Building Materials, Alam showed that recycled concrete could be as durable and strong as fresh concrete, and sometimes stronger. After five years of weather and use, the recycled concrete has proven that it can perform as well as new concrete. Image: UBC. The recycling process for concrete is …

Sustainable Concrete Through Recycling. All recycled materials starting from recycled water and recycled waste by-product materials could be implemented in the concrete industry. This was the theme of " Concrete with Recycled Materials," a two-part session at The Concrete Convention and Exposition in Denver, CO.

Economics. Cost savings of $ 2.00 to $ 4.00 per ton estimated from several states. Savings of up to $ 6.00 per ton experienced in areas with limited supply of aggregates. Most states do not differentiate in bids, so actual cost savings difficult to document.

The Portland Cement Association has created a "roadmap to carbon neutrality" to reduce the more than 1.25 percent of U.S. carbon dioxide emissions from concrete manufacturing. Concrete is one of the most used man-made materials in the world, with a majority of it comprising Portland cement mixed with other cementitious materials, …

At the same time, the concrete industry is gradually shifting toward green materials and practices with special focus on sustainable development. Because latex can improve some key properties of concrete, it may be possible to recycle WLP in concrete manufacturing with added value. In this study, fresh, mechanical, and durability …

The reason for recycling is the reduction of waste in order to protect nature against pollution, the increasing shortage of suitable dumping grounds, and to save energy and natural resources. Concrete debris is typically reclaimed as recycled aggregate (RCA). By recycling concrete, valuable landfill space and natural resources are preserved.
