Abstract:
Objective: This study investigates the typologies of solid waste incorporated into buildings in Brazilian ecovillages, aiming to highlight this practice and explore sustainable construction with reused materials. Theoretical Framework: The current environmental crises challenge the construction industry to overcome the linear production, consumption, and disposal paradigm, which generates excessive waste. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) offer a framework for action, but their practical implementation remains a challenge. Ecovillages, as intentional ecological communitie

Abstract:
In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the level of waste generated from construction and renovation (C&D). In the European Union countries, they constitute approximately 40% of all waste generated annually. C&D waste collected in landfills often has a negative impact on the natural environment. The solution to this problem is their reuse in buildings and road works. Currently, the road industry is one of the best-developing construction sectors, which creates great recycling opportunities.

Abstract As the most widely used construction material worldwide, concrete is the main cause of greenhouse gas emissions, material depletion, and waste generation by the construction industry. Typically, concrete waste is crushed and, at best, reclaimed into recycled aggregate or used as gravel. This process is energy-intensive and results in a reduction in material properties. In contrast, the direct reuse of concrete elements from obsolete structures offers great potential for significantly reducing the environmental impact of new constructions.

I en värld där människan är det enda djur som lämnar efter sig avfall som inte kan brytas ned naturligt, är det viktigt att avfallet vi producerar tas om hand på bästa möjliga sätt. EU har därför tagit fram en prioriteringsordning för hur avfallet ska behandlas. Denna kallas avfallshierarkin och ska ligga till grund för medlemsländernas lagstiftning om avfallshantering. I Sverige kallas byggsektorn för den ”40-procentiga sektorn” vilket syftar på att 40 procent av Sveriges avfall genereras av denna sektor.

&lt;p&gt;Along with the global debate on climate protection, the construction industry faces new challenges. The reduction of the environmental impacts of the construction sector plays a major role as it still consumes high amounts of resources and continues to be responsible for a high amount of industrial carbon emissions.

Abstract:
Abstract Heat exchangers utilized in waste incineration facilities are subject to severe high-temperature attack by gaseous and molten species and dewpoint corrosion by aqueous condensates. Types of heat recovery systems discussed are waterwall refuse boilers, watertube and firetube boilers for industrial incinerators, and gas/gas exchangers (air preheaters) employed in sludge combustors, thermal oxidizers, and radwaste incinerators. Also covered are condensing heat exchangers and gas reheaters integrated into wet scrubbing systems. Coverage includes heat exchanger design configurations, const

Abstract:
Abstract As the use of industrial and municipal waste incineration increases, the performance of materials of construction for incinerators is becoming more demanding. Typical industrial refuse can contain a significant amount of halides, while most types of municipal waste appear to have predominantly sulfur-bearing corrodant species in addition to chlorine. Mixed oxidant environments such as the above can cause accelerated corrosion at elevated temperatures because of the combined effects of oxygen, carbon and sulfur compounds and halide vapors. In view of this, a field survey of alloy perfo

Abstract:
An increase in demolition activities has led to the generation of large amounts of glass waste. Due to its non-biodegradable nature, glass can stay in landfills for longer periods without decomposition; thus, it occupies a large volume of landfills. This study aimed to analyze the potential reuses and repurposing of glass waste in the construction industry. A systematic review of the literature was conducted, and secondary data were extracted. The data were analyzed qualitatively to achieve the objective of the study. The generation of glass waste in four different parts of the world, namely:

Abstract:
Rapid urbanization and population growth have increased the demand for new housing, urban environments and infrastructure. While roads, buildings and bridges are renovated and renewed, massive amounts of construction and demolition waste is generated around the world. To cope with both rising stockpiles of waste and yet growing need for raw materials, we need to impose new environmental regulations encouraging to use recycled materials instead of natural resources. This paper focuses on the necessity of reusing demolition waste for different construction purposes and thereby improving the envi

Abstract:
Population growth, urbanisatioon, and production-consumption patterns linked to a linear economy have resulted in a continuous increase in solid waste generation (UNEP. 2016). The construction sector, significantly contributing to GDP globally, is responsible for producing a specific type of solid waste known as Construction and Demolition Waste (CDW). CDW stems from excavation, construction, demolition, repairs, or improvement activities in buildings or civil works (Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development, 2017a). Globally, approximately 10 billion tonnes of CDW are generated annu
