The group consisting of the University of Tokyo Hokkaido University Tokyo University of Science Utsunomiya University Shimizu Corporation Taiheiyo Cement and Masuo Recycle is implementing the NEDO Moonshot R & D Project "C 4 S Research and Development Project" C 4 S Calcium Carbonate Circulation System for Construction with the aim of
Benefits of Recycling Concrete There are several benefits to recycling concrete Recycling means non biodegradable concrete won t end up in our landfills Saving landfill space is very important to our environment Concrete waste has such a large size and volume and reusing the raw materials means we can save that landfill space
In 2017 the annual amount of waste generated by the Japanese construction industry amounted to million tons representing 22% of the total amount of Japanese industrial waste generated in this year [1] Moreover as the final disposal sites of industrial waste are expected to be saturated in the foreseeable future there is a growing need for recycling
Japan s concrete recycling rate is the highest about 98% of waste co ncrete have been recycled [6] The research on recycled wall materials of wast e concre te in China started late
Recycling technologies such as on site concrete waste crushing for road base construction and recycling concrete aggregate for non structural prefabricated concrete components are widely used Japan has a leading position in the area of concrete recycling as the establishment of comprehensive recycling law which hugely encourages concrete
Comparative analysis on costs and benefits of producing natural and recycled concrete aggregates A South African case study
A new technology is presented for transforming returned concrete into a granular material that can be reused as aggregates for concrete The new method is based on non toxic easy to use additives that are added directly into the drum of truck mixers containing returned concrete The new method favours the preservation of natural resources allows the reduction
This study explores the success factors of concrete recycling in construction projects using Malaysia as a case study The objectives include 1 identifying the critical success factors for concrete recycling in construction projects 2 comparing the critical success factors between large enterprises LEs and small medium enterprises SMEs and 3 developing
For example success can be seen in Japan where 96% of concrete waste was reported to be recycled already in 2000 and 98% by 2006 after the enactment of the construction material recycling law

Every year 33 million tons of concrete waste such as debris from demolished buildings and bridges are generated in Japan In many cases such concrete waste is pulverized and reused as sub base
4 Concrete recycling is becoming an increasingly popular way to utilize waste concrete left behind when structures or roadways are demolished In the past this rubble was disposed of in landfills but with more attention being paid to environmental concerns concrete recycling allows reuse of the rubble while also keeping construction costs down
Recycling concrete proves to be more cost effective than sourcing new materials allowing contractors to save on disposal fees associated with waste materials Additionally using recycled concrete results in lower transportation costs due to the reduced need to move raw materials from one location to another This in turn leads to lower
