Green Building Materials and Eco-Technologies
Construction is a branch of the economy that occupies a leading place in waste production. The problem is both the demolition of buildings ending their activity and the construction process itself. During the demolition process, waste is segregated, and most often concrete and brick rubble is recycled. In addition, wooden and wood-based elements, metal and glass are most often recycled. However, there is still a large amount of mixed waste, which often contains hazardous waste. It is necessary to store them safely. Another problem is waste generated during construction. The largest percentage of their mass is packaging. In construction practice, they are most often transported to companies that deal with their segregation and partial processing as mixed waste. However, in the idea of a closed-loop economy, in addition to waste processing, it is about reducing the negative impact on the environment associated with, among others, the transport of this waste. The article proposes the possibility of using some packaging waste directly on the construction site. A scheme of processes allowing waste processing on the construction site and using them to produce elements used on site is presented. This approach allows for the implementation of the Green Building philosophy in a more comprehensive form.
