Poland: Heidelberg Materials has inaugurated its new construction and demolition materials (CDM) recycling plant at Katowice, Silesia. The plant will use a patented crusher to separate and sort 100t/hr of CDM. It will then recycle the materials in new concrete using its ReConcrete circular concrete production technology.
Chief sustainability officer Nicola Kimm said "Thanks to our strong commitment to continuous innovation, we are now introducing a revolutionary and commercially viable technology combining circularity with decarbonisation on our path to net zero. Innovations like this help to accelerate our transformation and highlight our ambition of closing the loop offering circular alternatives for 50% of our concrete products by 2030.”
