Title: | Recovery of End-of-Life Tyres and Mineral Wool Waste: A Case Study with Gypsum Composite Materials Applying Circular Economy Criteria | Authors: | Zaragoza-Benzal, Alicia Ferrández, Daniel Santos, Paulo Morón, Carlos |
Keywords: | gypsum composites; end-of-life tyre; recycled fibres; circular economy; precast | Issue Date: | 27-Dec-2022 | Publisher: | MDPI | Project: | POCI-01-0145-FEDER-032061 | Serial title, monograph or event: | Materials | Volume: | 16 | Issue: | 1 | Abstract: | The building sector is currently undergoing a process of change due to concerns about the sustainability of the construction industry. The application of circular economy criteria to develop new, more sustainable construction products has become one of the major challenges for the society of the future. This research advances towards the development of new lightened gypsum composites that incorporate waste from end-of-life tyres and recycled fibres from mineral wool thermal insulation in their composition. The results show how it is possible to reduce the consumption of the original raw materials by replacing them with recycled rubber granular particles, developing new construction products that are lighter, with better water resistance and greater thermal resistance. Additionally, it is shown that the incorporation of recycled fibres from rock wool and glass wool insulation is a good solution to improve the mechanical resistance of lightened gypsum composites, giving these construction and demolition wastes a second useful life by reincorporating them in the process of manufacturing new prefabricated housing products. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/114848 | ISSN: | 1996-1944 | DOI: | 10.3390/ma16010243 | Rights: | openAccess |
