Integrated CD&E waste processing and unfired GeoBrick manufacturing: upscaling a novel technology into a circular-economy business model

**这个工业研究项目**旨在证明有能力从目前未使用的废物中生产出有价值的产品；与现有产品相比，生产出更节能的产品，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所产生的能源消耗和二氧化碳排放。将废物管理行业的废气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分流大量材料，并通过节能的方式**为回收选项**注入新的活力。开发**碱激活土工砖**具有专利技术，其中**富含硅酸钙的替代材料和不需要焚烧的氟氯化碳**的组合，将绕过当前的限制，并使建筑领域实现技术突破。在这个项目中，**CCC将在其CD&E回收工厂扩大专利技术**，以实现**约200块/天的生产能力**。制成的砖将被用来建造一个示范结构，以调查它们的性能。根据建筑监管机构的要求，新砖的力学和环境性能也将由第三方测试机构进行调查。**CCC Ltd在**收集和回收CD&E废物**和**销售再生骨料**方面拥有超过37年的经验。CCC的创新方法将颠覆建筑行业，提供**市场就绪的产品**，使用LJMU技术，并按照建筑监管机构的规定，利用经过验证的特性转换氟氯化碳废物。**促进本地垃圾资源的消耗**是最可持续和最符合道德的做法之一，它降低了排放，符合循环经济的原则，使其他行业更加绿色。这个项目具有高度的创新性、雄心勃勃和开拓性，**解决了建筑业的关键环境和废物管理挑战**。

**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.
