Cross section of sandwich element with CDW-based SCC and HPC panels

Reuse & recycling of CDW in energy efficient prefab elements for construction

We develop strategies for the utilization of construction and demolition waste (CDW) in the prefab building industry, leading to new product groups with a high volume of CDW materials trying to close the loop in the material and the production chain. This approach will help to reduce the use of primary raw materials and saving natural resources.
