Porcement. Recylcing Tiles into a concrete alternative. i.e Concrete

该项目将为建筑业提供替代材料，从而改变循环经济原则的应用。这涉及将无法销售的陶瓷和瓷器(一种经济成本高、碳排放量高的废流)转化为PORCEMENT--一种利润丰厚的水泥类材料，用于替代混凝土粘结剂。POCEMENT的超低碳强度(在0.013公斤二氧化碳/公斤范围内)，避免每年75kt陶瓷废料的填埋作业，以及优化的供应链管理设计，将使碳节省在2.4kt二氧化碳/年的范围内。在混凝土中替代75kt波特兰水泥将减少60kt二氧化碳/年的排放，支持英国建筑业的脱碳和循环愿景。该项目将支持建立一个新的业务，包括提供几个知识产权保护机制，这将允许在整个英国复制该模式并将其出口到国外。这项新业务具有明显的利润率，它将在两年内为整个供应链创造至少50个FTE工作岗位，在行业示范后，它将吸引投资者复制和推广该模式。该项目将提供：将安装的处理单元的技术要求、技术的实验室验证、工业环境中的验证以及可持续供应链的设计，以最大限度地降低成本和排放，并最大限度地提高效率和利润。该项目由一家领先的瓷砖进口商、一家罗素集团、一所研究密集型大学和一家领先的低碳混凝土制造商设计，他们都位于英格兰西南部的心脏地带。

The project will deliver a step-change in the application of circular economic principles by providing alternative materials to the construction industry. This involves transforming non-marketable ceramics and porcelain (a waste stream that is financially costly and has high carbon emission rates) into PORCEMENT--a highly profitable cement-like material to substitute concrete binders. The ultra-low carbon intensity of PORCEMENT (in the range of 0.013 kg CO2/kg), the avoidance of landfilling operations for 75kt ceramic waste yearly, and the design of optimised supply chain management, will enable carbon savings in the range of 2.4kt CO2/year.The substitution of 75kt of Portland cement in concrete will deliver an emission reduction of 60kt CO2/year, supporting the decarbonation and circular vision for the UK construction industry. The project will support the setup of a new business including provision for several IP protection mechanisms, which will allow the replication of the model across the UK and its export abroad. The new business has clear profit margins, it will create at least 50 FTE jobs in the entire supply chain over two years, and, after industrial demonstration, it will attract investors for the replication and extension of the model. The project will deliver: the technical requirements for the processing units to be installed, laboratory validation of the technology, validation in an industrial environment and the design of a sustainable supply chain that minimise costs and emissions with maximum efficiency and profit. The project has been designed by a leading tile importer, a Russell group, research-intensive university, and a pioneering low carbon concrete manufacturer, who all sit in the heart of the South West of England.
