- This aggregate is useful in most concrete mixes, and is well indurated and harder than traditional recycled aggregates due to the uniform process of Blue Planet’s reformation step.
- Upcycled Aggregate offers significant benefit compared to virgin aggregate by adding recycled content value, and the avoidance of CO2 related to mining and transportation
- All concrete typically absorbs a few percent of it`s mass from atmospheric CO2 during its lifetime, so when it is demolished, that previously absorbed and mineralized CO2 remains incorporated
- Quarrying for aggregate is by far the largest extractive industry on earth resulting in the direct destruction of millions of acres of farmland and virgin habitat as well as dredging of rivers and the seabed.
- At the same time more construction and demolition waste is generated than any other waste.
- By using returned and demolished concrete as a feedstock and generating a high quality upcycled aggregate as a byproduct Blue Planet`s technology enables the closing of the biggest possible circle in the circular economy.
