**This industrial research project** aims to demonstrate the ability to produce a valuable product from currently unused waste; generating a more **energy-efficient product with at least a 45% lower carbon footprint** compared with existing products. The technology will open up **new sources of revenue for CCC** and reduce energy usage and CO2 emissions from brick and concrete production. Enabling the waste management industry's waste streams to be used as a raw material for a new product for brick and block manufacturers has the potential to divert a significant volume of material from landfill sites and **breathe new life into the recovery options** through an energy-efficient way.The development of an **alkali-activated GeoBrick** with patented technology, where the **combination of alternative calcium-silicate-rich materials and CFC** that do not require burning, would circumvent current limitations and enable a technological breakthrough in the construction sector.In this project, **CCC will scale up the patented technology in their CD&E recycling plant** to achieve a production **capacity of around 200 bricks/day**. The manufactured brick will be used to build a demonstration structure to investigate their performance. The new bricks' mechanical and environmental properties will be also investigated by third-party test facilities as required by the building regulator.**CCC Ltd has over 37 years of experience** in **collecting and recycling CD&E waste** and **marketing recycled aggregate**. CCC's innovative approach will disrupt the construction sector by providing **market-ready products** using LJMU technology and converting the CFC wastes with validated properties as set by the building regulators. **Boosting the consumption of local waste-based resources** is one of the most sustainable and ethical practices that lower emissions and meet the principles of circular economy, making other industries greener.This project is highly innovative, ambitious, and pioneering, **addressing key environmental and waste management challenges** in the construction industry.

**这个工业研究项目**旨在证明利用目前未使用的废物生产有价值产品的能力；生产一种更节能的产品，与现有产品相比，碳足迹至少降低45%。这项技术将为CCC开辟新的收入来源，并减少砖和混凝土生产过程中的能源消耗和二氧化碳排放。使废物管理行业的废物流被用作砖和砌块制造商新产品的原材料，有可能从垃圾填埋场转移大量材料，并通过节能的方式为回收方案注入新的活力。采用专利技术的碱活化GeoBrick**的开发，将替代的富含硅酸钙的材料和不需要燃烧的CFC**相结合，将绕过当前的限制，使建筑领域的技术突破成为可能。在该项目中，**CCC将在其CD&E回收工厂**扩大专利技术，以实现约200块砖/天的生产能力**。人造砖将被用来建造一个示范结构来研究它们的性能。根据建筑监管机构的要求，新砖的机械和环境性能也将由第三方测试机构进行调查。**CCC有限公司在** ** ** ** ** ** *收集和回收CD&E废物** *和** **销售再生骨料** ** ** ** ** **拥有超过37年的**经验。CCC的创新方法将颠覆建筑行业，通过使用LJMU技术提供市场成熟的产品，并将氯氟烃废物转化为符合建筑监管机构规定的有效性能。**增加本地以废物为基础的资源的消耗量**是最具可持续性和合乎道德的做法之一，既能减少排放，又符合循环经济的原则，令其他行业更环保。该项目具有高度创新性、雄心勃勃和开拓性，解决了建筑行业的主要环境和废物管理挑战。
