The biggest challenges that the construction demolition and recycling industry face today can vary from country to country depending on a variety of factors, including local legislation and incentives. In short, many businesses are typically driven by economic incentives; therefore, recycling needs to be more cost effective than sending the material to a landfill.
Other issues associated with the construction demolition and recycling industry are a set of acceptable quality standards for recycled material and its potential uses, e.g., load-bearing concrete. This could be assisted in the upstream sorting process by ensuring a more homogeneous material, such as separating materials like brick and concrete where possible before being processed. An element of this would include design. Many buildings and structures being demolished today were
designed and built decades ago when a recycling plan would have not been in the criteria. The subject of
older buildings and structures leads on to another factor to be considered, which is
contamination and classification of hazardous substances. Asbestos was
commonly used in construction throughout most of the 20th
century, and dealing with it still causes
challenges to this day.
While a lot of the material processed within the construction demolition and recycling industry can now be repurposed, one of the main challenges that remains is what to do with the silt that is removed at the end of the process. This is often a true waste material, but many companies continue to search for other uses for this material.
Given the long and rich history McLanahan has within our chosen industries, we possess world-class expertise when it comes to process engineering and have been providing specialized solutions for decades, e.g., frac sand solutions, specialty leisure sands and more. The fact that McLanahan has expert knowledge of the entire process from material processing through to water management also provides the industry with confidence that McLanahan can provide a complete solution. It is a little-known fact that McLanahan invented the Log Washer and obtained a U.S. patent in 1894. Fast forward to the present day and Log Washers are widely used within the construction and demolition recycling industry.
