Recycle and Reuse Concrete: Benefits and Methods

03-07-2024

Is recycled concrete the way forward?

We are facing a time when natural resources are expensive, transportation costs are high and often there are delays. Yet companies are obliged to work with tight deadlines and even tighter budgets.

MB Crusher offers a solution for material sourcing: recycled concrete aggregates.

 

Recycled Concrete Aggregates made with MB Crusher

Recycled Concrete Aggregates (RCA) are more cost-effective than purchasing virgin aggregates while offering versatility and quality comparable to natural stone aggregates.

How to make RCA

When demolishing concrete structures such as sidewalks, parking lots or buildings crushing the debris with MB Crusher rubble is transformed into an evenly graded aggregate.

MB Crusher makes attachments for excavators, skids and loaders that transform any brand of heavy machinery into a versatile and mobile crusher, with MB Crusher attachments rubble is crushed into high-quality recycled aggregates on-site. MB's mobile jaw crusher produces an evenly graded output, which can be adjusted for various applications. For a more advanced grading, the MB Trommel bucket allows easy size separation.

The process with MB Crusher

MB Crusher attachments support sustainable waste reduction and promote in-situ recycling, reducing the need for external processing.

One machine and one operator can turn debris into high-quality Recycled Concrete Aggregate (RCA), which is a sustainable alternative to disposal. The benefits of recycling concrete include:

  • Reducing landfill waste
  • Avoiding disposal centre fees
  • Conserving natural aggregates
  • Lowering the project costs

As landfill fees increase, companies find it unsustainable to dump old concrete and buy new aggregates. MB Crusher units enable on-site crushing, turning waste into high-quality recycled aggregates and saving costs.

Using your carrier with MB Crusher attachments can:

  • Eliminate landfill fees
  • Save on transportation costs
  • Allow you to sell surplus aggregates for profit
  • Reduce the need to buy new gravel and rock aggregates

 

 

Projects Using Recycled Concrete

Recycled Concrete Aggregates (RCA) can be used for:

  • Bases of roads and sports fields
  • Foundations, piling, and building slabs
  • Walkways, pathways, and driveways
  • Garden beds and landscaping
  • Retaining walls and rip-rap
  • Drainage solutions
