Mineral waste recycling for construction in Wallonia using LCA as an eco design tool

Today's global needs for mineral resources are on a continuous increase, resulting in an intensification of their extraction and environmental pollution. In Wallonia, those threats are shifting the industrial interests in the construction sector towards sustainability development plans based on reverse mineral industries. The main challenge of this study is the selection of local mineral wastes from deconstruction to obtain materials with equal or superior properties and minimal environmental impacts. Supported by research institutes, industries will conduct studies to spur the development of... Mehr ...
