Created an end-to-end system for converting construction waste into new products, establishing a circular model for construction materials.
The client, a leading building materials manufacturer, was looking to expand its portfolio by including products made from recycled Construction and Demolition (C&D) waste concrete. In its journey to develop such a circular solution, the client is seeking to establish a C&D waste recycling facility for the production of recycled concrete-based products. With this background, the client engaged Xynteo to develop the recycling system and increase market adoption of recycled concrete products, recognising that increased circularity and recycled materials are key levers for decarbonising the built environment.
Potential for 90Mt of carbon abatement through proper C&D waste recycling
Full system design from waste collection to product manufacturing
Strategic partnerships developed across the value chain
The initiative
The key objectives for the engagement:
- Conducting landscape scan of C&D waste ecosystem
- Support in setting up of the C&D waste recycling facility to produce recycled concrete based products
- Support in increasing the offtake of recycled concrete based products
Implementation of this circular economy solution will demonstrate the commercial viability of recycled construction materials and can act as a blueprint for industry transformation.
Xynteo’s role
- Commercial viability: Developed business case for manufacturing recycled concrete-based products
- Ecosystem study: Conducted comprehensive landscape analysis of C&D waste ecosystem
- Operating model: Defined operating model and secured necessary partnerships
