Project Abstract

The main benefit is reduced landfill; this is an economic and environmental benefit. Calcium fluorite, ceramic powders and significant amounts of C&D material are discarded as being too difficult or to costly to recycle. Reducing the carbon footprint and the use of cement is an area that is of great concern to governments and environmental groups. C&D handling is a very large industry and a successful outcome to our project could be the impetuous for similar or larger businesses to move to up-cycling their C&D material. Promotion through our website, trade shows, conferences and sale of the end product.
