Nachhaltigkeitsanalyse für das Mauerwerksrecycling

Sustainability analysis for the recycling of masonry.

In Germany, a not unimportant quantity of masonry rubble is generated in the medium term. With regard to a sustainable closed substance cycle waste management, these rest masses have to be recycled if possible. Within the IGF research project "Sustainability Analysis for the Recycling of Masonry", different recycling options will be assessed with regard to their sustainability performance. In doing so, the main kinds of masonry units (clay units, calcium silicate units, autoclaved aerated concrete units, aggregate concrete units), their material properties, the processing technologies as well as ecological, economic and social aspects will be considered. Based on the results, a web-based tool will be developed to assess the sustainability of different recycling options for masonry rubble.
