Future of Construction: "Green Sites" and On-Site Recycling Trend
The construction sector worldwide is undergoing a major transformation to reduce carbon footprint and comply with "Green Building" certificates (LEED, BREEAM). Transporting excavation waste to dump sites has become both costly and environmentally unsustainable.
1. On-Site Recycling
The new trend is to turn waste into "raw material" without ever leaving the site. Here, two heroes come into play:
- Crusher Buckets: Instantly crushes stone and concrete into fill material (stabilizer). Zero transport costs.
- Pulverizers: Separates demolition waste and recovers rebar.
2. Where is the Future Heading?
In Europe, "On-Site Recycling" is now a requirement in many tenders. Companies using these technologies in urban regeneration projects gain speed and cost advantages over competitors.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can a crusher bucket crush all types of concrete?
A: Yes, as long as the rebar density is not excessive (e.g., shear walls). The output material is perfect for road sub-base.
Q: How long is the ROI for recycling attachments?
A: On a busy site, it typically pays for itself in 6-8 months through savings on dump trucks and dumping fees.
