Recycling of Construction and Demolition Waste

The project is based on the recycling of the rapidly increasing construction and demolition waste. Through this process we want to take a step ahead, the idea of stopping illegal sand mining, earth excavation and ultimately save our mother Earth from destruction. The cost of recycled sand and aggregates is lower than conventional aggregates and sand, resulting in reduction of overall construction cost. Our primary aim is to study in depth about the different properties of construction and demolition waste, perform various tests, so that the recycling processes can be designed accordingly for optimum efficiency. On the basis of these test results and projections we will get a rough estimation about the total quantity of recycled aggregate and recycled sand that can be obtained. Further with the help of the obtained recycled material we intend to use in construction based on their properties which will in turn be less costly as well. These recycled materials and products made from it are economical without any considerable change in the strength and durability aspect. Not only the cost effectiveness but it will also be aesthetically pleasing.
