Over the next three-and-a-half years following the first landmark gathering on Thursday 15 September, CDE shall contribute to this group to develop new technologies to increase the reuse and recycling of construction and demolition waste material in energy efficient prefabricated elements for building refurbishment and construction.
Speaking about the project, CDE Representative Sean Kerr, the Northern Ireland firm’s head of engineering, said: “To be involved in the first Horizon 2020 funded research project in this area is an exciting prospect and a great opportunity to make significant advancements in reducing the environmental impact of construction and demolition activities.
“CDE is a key member of the consortium and through our competence and experience in this area we aim to provide innovative strategies and processes for construction and demolition waste recycling to produce recycled products for new and high value applications, taking construction and demolition waste recycling to the next level!”
Having delivered over thirty turnkey C&D wet processing recycling projects throughout UK, Europe, Scandinavia, South America and India, CDE brings a wealth of experience.
CDE has been working in the construction & demolition waste recycling sector for over 14 years, and has developed technology that ensures the production of the highest value recycled sand and aggregates. The company also has the claimed highest number of wet processing C&D waste processing projects delivered by a single supplier in the world.
Adapting to individual customer needs, these projects process between 80 and 300 tonnes/hour each and combined divert more than six million tonnes of C&D waste from landfill/year. CDE also delivered the world’s largest wet processing C&D waste recycling project in Norway which processes 300 tonnes/hour.
