Abstract text:
Annually are generated large amounts of waste, which if not managed properly they pollute the environment and affect human health. Large volume of civil, industrial, hydro, bridges and communication means construction, led to intensive and extensive exploitation of alluvial deposits of gravel beds, coming even to change the relief, by exploiting the various rocks that enter into the composition of mountain massifs. Construction waste results from construction, renovation and demolition of buildings, street pavement projects, repair of bridges, cleaning associated with natural disasters. Even if today is redeemed a small percentage of construction and demolition waste, a significant quantity is likely to be recycled in the future as a result of storage tax and legislation. It should be noted that construction and demolition waste are equal in weight with total amount of household, commercial and industrial waste. In most countries they are deposited in a landfill waste. Because of legal restrictions and environmental regulations imposed at Community level, this possibility becomes increasingly reduced. In this paper will be presented some aspects of collection, treatment and recovery of building materials from demolition and/or decommis-sioning.
Key Words:
demolition; recycling; waste; recycling materials.
