摘要: Recycling of construction material helps saving the limited landfill space. Among various types materials, concrete waste accounts for about 50% total generation. The current practice dumping materials to landfills generates a significant quantity from sites. as recycled aggregate is one methods reduce waste. Therefore, this paper investigates economical considerations in recycling A comparative study on costs and benefits between method examined. shows that it has negative net benefit while positive method. new production can provide cost-effective industry help environment.
