| Abstract |
In Romania, there are several industries that already apply the concept of circular economy, amoung which the cement/concrete industry that turns waste into alternative sources of raw materials and energy and already recovers significant amounts of waste from other industries as well as sorted household waste. Waste co-processing in cement industry is a waste recovery method, recognized as being one of the best practices for an efficient use of resources. By co-processing take place simultaneously, both the recycling of waste mineral content as well as their energy recovery, which leads to the reduction of indirect CO2 emissions. Also, the product of wide consume of this industry cement concrete can be 100% recycled as alternative aggregates used in building the transport infrastructure or getting a new concrete. Thus, the cement/concrete industry contributes to the conservation of natural resources by replacing them with alternative resources from waste, and becomes an integrant part of the circular economy - European goal for an efficient use of resources and ensuring energy security. |
